A Simple New Way to Make Polymer Clay “Baroque Beads”
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Welcome to my Channel, Studio and this little tutorial on an old friend of mine - Baroque Beads. These were some of the first beads I made - you see I didn't know how to cane and applying discs, triangles, twisted ropes to solid colored bases seemed a good way for a newbie to get into polymer clay. I made the beads in the late 80s - early 90's and they are in my first book published in 1997.
I loved making these beads. At the time there was no Skinner Blend so they were solid colors on solid colors (mostly straight from the packages because I didn't know how to mix colors then).
So, here they are again. This time, we'll begin by making them as I did then with one huge change, you'll see. Then I show how to make them even easier - with cutters! Yup. ferrules - we didn't use them in the old days.
I hope you enjoy! This is a great project/tute for newbies!
Big hugs, D

As a beginner I am not ready yet for such beads but I love watching you. Thank you so much for teaching us all.
Soon, you will be ready. It does not take long!👍
Sunday morning trip back in time with Donna ... Life Is Good! Great to see you, Donna!😊
It sure is!❤️
Donna, its rare to find such an incredible artisan as you who is also a dynamite teacher.
As a newbie, I feel so lucky to have found you to be my teacher. So many things I'm not learning the hard way because you've already done that. 😉
Thank you, Cynthia! Thank you.
It IS funny to look back on old stuff and realize what you DIDN'T know back then. I remember learning about scrap cores and veneers and saying, "Duh!"
Lol! Yes, that was some light bulb moment! So many things have been learned over the years! Hugs, D
I love that sweet pink bead, too! It looks like a mine that would explode with glitter and candy and puppies and other good things😃
I love that!!! 😊❤️
😂 love this analogy!
I love that every time I watch one of your videos, I always pick up little tips for things that I've wondered about. Always bothers me that I get those dark spots from metallic clay. Now I know why and how to fix them!
Good, Susan! Hugs, D❤️
Since i don’t have much leftover clay to use as stuffing, i use wooden beads (bought on Amazon) that i cover in a thin layer of liquid clay. It works great!
Thank you so much for this tute, Donna. It’s great to spend a bit of time with you on Sundays.
That's a great idea!
Great idea! 👍
I just had to get your book! 😊 By next month, I'll be able to travel back in time and make some of these lovely beads! ❤ (But I'll use your updated instructions!) Thankyou Donna! XxxX
Aww! Thank you, Liz! A walk down memory lane! Hugs, D
So fun! Love this project. When I finish my pods and snails will make these. Thanks Donna you’re the best-really!
Enjoy, Elaine! Pods, shells and beads! Yay! hugs, D
I will give these a shot for sure this week , I’m new to polymer clay but your tutorials are very enjoyable and I feel pretty confident I will be able to replicate something like this. I think my littlest girl will love them too , she is autistic and the shape and colour of these beads look fantastic and sensory. Well done Donna and thank you ❤
You know, i think you will find these simple to make. Stacking them flat really helps! I hope your little girl likes them!❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt thanks Donna! I did find it pretty easy to make ( albeit looking a little bit more wonky than yours 😂) the wonkiness didn’t take from it at all though and she loved it! She was rolling it in her hands and on her leg and face , like a little massage ball! So I can say it was definitely a hit! Thanks again ❤️
So super cute D 💜 cutters are the way to go, definitely 😊 thanks again for all your hard work 😊💜
Thank you, Tracey!❤️
Look at those gorgeous nails!😊
It happens sometimes!!! Lol. Not often enough, though! Hugs, D❤️
Simply love your tutorials 🎀🎀
Thanks so much 😊❤️
Yaaaaaa so glad you did this video I have the book when I first started I tried so hard to do it and couldn't 😂😂😂😂😂😂 your work is so amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩 thank you
You’re welcome, Jeanette!❤️
Beginners!!! I waited quite a while before trying them out.❤
I HAVE this book!!! It is from when you were on Carol Duvall
It’s an oldie! Hugs!❤️
Assembly line❣️
I bought that book along time ago. Used my 60% off coupon❤❤❤ can't use coupons on books no more😔
Sorry I missed it. Got busy!
Hi David! It’s all there for you whenever you have the time, kid! Hugs, D❤️
It's okay if spacing on a sphere isn't perfect, it's physically impossible to see a greater percentage of it than what you cant, so you won't ever see them side by side lol
I concur! 100%. The hole is never perfectly placed so the circumference on the halves will never be equal, too. I like your take on it! Hugs, D
Do you have a tutorial to make the black and white snakes that you have on the bead at the start of the video and on your table?
gee, i have to look at them. now it can be as simple as rolling a thin snake of white and athin snake of black, then roll and twist them together! i will look,
@@DonnaKatoArt thank you so much for explaining and for your very last video where it shows how to do it!!!
