Welcome to my channel! So glad you're here.
This pendant was originally made many years ago. I've always liked it so I thought, why not do this as a tute? Now, as an extra added bonus, I discovered a simpler way to do it. I'm happy about that.
Hope you enjoy the tutorial!Now, I have a favor of you, please subscribe and like. I sort the comments and while I do read them all, I don't answer them all. I answer Member's comments/questions and subscriber questions. I think that's fair, don't you? So, if you need an answer, please subscribe.
On we go! Time to make a pendant, peeps!
Hugs, D

Thank you for another fantastic tutorial, Ms Donna!👏👏 I so look forward to enjoying a large cuppa tea (or maybe two) and my "learning time with Ms. Donna" on a Sunday afternoon. Your voice, teaching manner, stories, fur baby antics and humming are fun and quite soothing. Thank you again for generously giving your time to teach us. Keep on humming, dear lady!!🥰🤗🥰🌹🌹💖🙏

@lynnb1108 4 месяца назад

It shows no matter how accomplished loved and respected a person is someone will always make a comment whether knowing or not that causes doubt fear or unhappiness in the person they commented to...please remember everyone has doubts and fears and is a little self conscious about some things...do what makes you happy and filled with joy...Donna always gives to the clay community and is a treasure and if she can still worry about what others think about her it should be a reminder that it is okay to be yourself and not worry about others just find your joy and strive to live the best life you can being happy and creative while you live life to it's fullest. I love your videos that update your old ideas and show us all to continue growing and improving. Thank you!

I absolutely love and respect your positive attitude as far as the unnecessary comments about you and your "doe da doe-ing" and your humming, etc. are concerned. However, from my perspective, there are some right and wrong things when it comes to RU-vid and social media etiquette. You guys, the creators, spend a whole lotta time and energy, not only making the item in the tutorial but making the tutorial itself. Then you offer it to us, the viewers, for free. For FREE. If a viewer is consuming your well thought out, beautifully, and professionally made videos for FREE, they should keep their petty comments to themselves. Most of us have a deep appreciation for everything you do da do. 😉❤

Now, I’m off to watch the cha cha bracelet on the member’s channel!!❤

@DonnaKatoArt 4 месяца назад

Hi Jill! Okay the cord is 2mm. The black beads are Japanese matte “e” beads. That’s what we always referred to them as. Big holes! I’ve had them forever so I don’t know where to get them now. I use Abranet sanding sheets. They last a loong time. Thanks for subbing! Hugs, D❤️

@DonnaKatoArt 5 месяцев назад

Thank you, Laura. I decided to just go on and not think too much about it. People do feel very free to dispense advice - thinking they’re being helpful. Fine line. I guess you have to ask if you’d say it to anyone in person. Hugs, D❤️

I think it's social media - and I don't think this person was being mean - but in many ways we have become people without filters. I know I have to stop myself every now and then and just think before I speak or write. It's all good, at my age, I don't worry too much about things like that but I do recognize that what a person comments on might be correct and I might need to correct! We are all wrong sometimes!

Your humming delights my soul! Thank you for all the delights over the years, for your generosity, and also your kindness to me and my mom at Ravensdale in Issaquah. The inspiration there will stay with me forever! I'm truly enjoying clay again after a long break. I am excited to have recently added a used Foredom (ohhh the SHINE!) and my next splurge is a Monified pasta machine, I hope! It's all about making things easier on my hands and arms so I can continue for many more years. 💙~Marcella P. S. Jeffrey Dever showed us a tip on working with polymer clay hollow forms. He also used clay as a mould, but adding a layer of Armour All letting it dry, and adding another layer, makes the clay easily release from the clay mould after baking. I think I've used my finger or a brush to apply instead of spraying, which is irregular. Hope that helps. Plus it's fun and especially exciting the first time, lol!

Donna where did you get your metal rods you use? I’ve searched everywhere to find a set in metal.

@Vee_of_the_Weald 5 месяцев назад

I think she said she got it in a DIY store like Home Depot in the USA or Home Base in the UK. Those rods look very much like an off cut from a plumbing job. I’m in the uk and I just put “metal rods” in the Amazon search bar and got 3 or 4 different thickness of metal rods. I use them for a lot of things from closing a seam to putting 2 parallel on my worktop to level up clay when I roll and don’t want to get the pasta machine out. Finally I use them like BBQ skewers in the oven to keep holes in shape. I hope this helps x

@Vee_of_the_Weald 5 месяцев назад

Also, the best burnishing tool a lot of clay-ers (?) use is a “metal soap”. It works wonders as a curing base to slightly curve a pendant piece too. Amazon sells them as well as home goods stores
