- Now that you've watched the many parts in the Black and White Series, I thought it time to put up the first (I hope to make many more) tutorial where you put what you've learned to use and make this statement piece. It's one of my very favorites.
If it's not too much trouble, please subscribe and like. There is much more to come!
Cheers, Donna

I have really enjoyed this one. My primary passion is for jewelry making but I’m trying this medium again. I still have problems with making canes that don’t get distorted but I have made some really nice pieces from my goofy messes. I appreciate you showing some fixes and will try them. Your workmanship is truly amazing and I’m so envious. You said you have been working with this for many years and it shows. I’m a newcomer and will continue trying. I need all the help I can get. Thank you for sharing your gift. I’ve learned some from watching you. Thanks again.
I have loved all the tutorials on this series. I have a suggestion for something I do that might make the buttons on the backs of each pendant easier. I put a 2 inch piece of buna cord coated with resist gel in the channel that gets impressed between the two layers. I bake it that way and no drilling is necessary. Then I slide the cord out after they are cooled. I have also used thick wire or hemp cord. Use a pliers if it sticks.
I love that!
Fantastic idea. I'm glad I read your comment!
Brillisnt tha ks do much. Imtrird bs,ing eith The needke insife and thst eorked as well put uses a lot if needkex!
Question...how do you get The buna cord into The pice as they are setting 3? Or fo i have this wrong? X
Oh my! Fabulous! Gonna have to dig deep and put on my big girl panties before I attempt this 😬. Thanks, Donna-you always do great toots! Your explanation and direction makes it easy for us noobs to follow, great teacher 🙃
I am loving the tips, tricks, and honest feedback you are giving when you see problems (like the baking issue).
👍😊❤️
Thank you for the explanations of “why” you do what you do. I can then follow your reasoning. I have watched you since you were on the Carol Duvall Show. Your learning curve for doing videos is great. Keep up the good work!
I also appreciate Donna sharing her thought processes. When you know why, you can make better decisions. Katoclay has different characteristics from other polymer clays, and any tips, tricks, etc. go a long way in helping to master this medium.
I have loved the whole series. Thank you for sharing your special talent with us.
I love ur black and white series, each cane is exceptional than another and the beads are ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had been a fan of your work since Ms Carol Duval's show back in the day, I'm so glad I found you again
So beautiful Donna. Lots of work and details!

Wonderful video. I learned SOoooo much. Thank you.
Thanks so much, guys! ❤️
good morning, I love all of your tutorials
Thank you so much!❤️
I still love the one I made with you at Polymania. I made several in the year that followed. Time to revisit this but maybe I’m going to now use some of my surface techniques.
Love you Donna ❤
Hi dear Debby! I need a haircut. I will come to you! Kidding…❤️
Loved this xxx
Oh, Donna. I really want to make this. Sigh, You are so innovative and creative. Hugs.
I can’t wait to see, Lorrene!
@@DonnaKatoArt Did I miss the basketweave? I have been searching all over your site. I LOVE it.
It’s there! Click on Playlists - it has to be there!

Where can I buy the cord you used for this necklace and is that stretchable?
Donna I just love All your art works. Since I lost my husband April of this year I feel sort of lost ( not looking for sympathy-just explaining) I have not been sleeping very good, and I just somehow came to your channel. I love love love your videos. I would like to See you doing the small backing -or at least mesurments for the small version.Also what is that sanding paper called. You Are my therapy -sure I still cannot sleep, but you make my time enjoyable. I will not be able to attempt makeing a full necklace like yours, but I will be makeing a smaller version-like maybe 3 disks as a center to my necklace with beads. Keep those videos coming PLEASE.
Hi Renate, I am so far behind in replies! So sorry for your loss, such a dad and hard time. I can’t imagine how hard, my friend. Very happy I can help a bit. Creating and working with my hands really did save me, I think. Starting small and working up is the way to go. Take care of yourself, Renate. ❤️❤️❤️
This is lovely. Thank you so much!
I've looked everywhere for the Kato clasp template. Will you be stocking it soon on Prairecraft?
Hi Donna, i have a question about The small pads for The necklace backs. If both pads are setting #3 with The imprint for The cord ON just one of them, what is The diameter of The cord that goes thru The pads? Im thinking The gap is too small for a 2 mm cord. Am i right Or do i have some of The info wrong? Thanks so much, Jill x
Because I am a clumsy oaf and dropped my IKEA bowl with raw polymer on it, I found an old plate with a nice rim to place it on.
Those IKEA bowls are AWESOME but can be slippery suckers, even the small ones.
You are 100% correct about that!
Beautiful tutorial! Thank you! Is that a black and white ring of polymer clay on your finger?
Hi Katie! I have to take a look, don’t recall but most likely it’s polymer! 😊❤️
Fabulous!!! What size O Rings and from where do you order them? Also, you mentioned that Kato Polypaste does not cure to be Clear - what color does it look like when cured? I just read Kato Polypaste can be used to bond non-porous surfaces to polymer clay - so it can be used instead of glue to add crystals to designs and you don't have to pick them out and "glue" them back in place after curing? Does the polypaste have to overlap the crystals at all or is it like using "crazy" type glue, so just between the crystals and the clay?
Deb, the Polypaste cures translucent white. That’s why I use the liquid to set crystals. Not sure about bonding non- porous surfaces, though. I should give that a try! Cheers!😊❤️🎁🎄🧑🎄🎉
I re watch & learn something new each time. Thankyou Donna for sharing your expertise. One question: at the 57:17 time mark you show a selection of finished discs for the necklace. I have been looking for your tutorial that explains the paradox looking cane. I have made your basket weave and reshaped the square giving me your wheat style but this paradox looks different again. Would appreciate your guidance ? Thx.
Hi Lynne! I found that cane on youtube so I recommended the very class. I think I said or wrote it in the class. She does such a great job, it seemed right to share her class. I will look for it and let you know❤️
I also need advice on using resin to finish my work.
Hi there, if youbactually want tomuse resin i cant help, but if you just want a sturdy shine finish tgen i recomend you use UPOL number 1 which is a spray oroduct and works really well. Jill. Apologies for arthritic fingers!
Hi Donna, Jill,here in tge UK. I am having difficulty getting sharp firm blades. Lucy C are Not available here, nor are bkue steel. Would you be able To recomend some other blades?
you know, jill, they're pretty easy to get here but i don't know about the UK...let me shoot an email to cara jane and see what she does! cheers, d
plasticine that bonds with super glue isnt the ordinary garden variety.
You didn't tell/show us how short the shorties are and how you made them. Is that information in a different tutorial? Thank you very much for these tutorials.
I’m sorry. What are the shorties? Cheers, D
@@DonnaKatoArt I never thought in a million years you would answer me.
I was talking about the little disc on the back.
I have been watching your tutorials for about 6 weeks straight now and I could probably guess at how it is done.
Hello Donna. Can you tell me what did you use to sand? A sponge and?😊
I use Abranet. I think you can get it here now but I bought it in France. It’s great, lasts a long time. 👍
Olá! Você ensina a fazer esse cane lindo? Já procurei nos seus vídeos e não encontrei
Hello, if you go to the Playlists, you will find the Black & White Series. The canes are there! Cheers❤️
Where would one purchase an acupuncture needle?(i haven’t finished the video yet, so I apologize if this ends up getting covered during the video)
Hi Lisa;
Sorry for the looong delay…I purchased these through pandahall or aliexpress. The challenge is knowing the fineness of the needles - I bought a bunch in different sizes because I wanted thick ones and in the process ended up with several sizes that are used for different things. I like the thick, sturdy ones for cutting my acrylic shapes from Cara Jane’s templates. I use the very thin ones for poking tiny air holes. I wish I had a better answer for you! Hugs, D
Barbara Spong Thank you Donna for your wonderful tutorial.I have made the necklace but I find when wearing it Some of the disks turn over so that the back is showing!.I have made sure that they are aligned correctly what have I done wrong?
Remember the part about the way they’re strung so that the hole through which the discs are strung is closer to your head? Did you do that, I have on occasion strung them backward (!) and then they turn. Do you arrange them flat before you put the piece on? I love this piece but it does take a bit of arranging before you put it on! Cheers, D
I have missed the black hole circle tutorial. Where is it located in the black and white series.
Hi Marilyn, that’s a tutorial I started selling about a while ago so I can’t do it on this channel for free. Sorry kid, I did it before I started my YT journey. If you want to take the class, it’s called Jumpstart Jellyrolls and it’s 20.00. There’s a lot in the class, kid. Here’s the link in case: py.pl/TFb3w cheers, D
Sorry, Donna. I am always asking questions… how did you do the gorgeous second piece? The one that you cut with 1mm? Do you explained it on another tutorial?😊
Ok, the black one with the holes? Now that’s easy. Make the dished part first - cut the disc, cut the smaller holes bearing in mind you must have room for the stringing piece. Cure the disc with holes. After curing, back the piece with raw clay, cut out the holes and press the stringing piece as you did before (blending the edges). Cure it and you are done! ❤️
I tried to purchase the clasp templates; but, I couldn’t find them.
Teresa, did you get them? If not, email me and I will send you a set - my treat. I owe you, kid! dkkato@gmail.com
@@DonnaKatoArt oh, thank you!
Lovely! Can you share name/ link for the black string you use and what is it’s thickness? Thank you
It’s 2mm rubber cord! Aka Buna cord. Order the O rings at the same time!
