Hi Donna, I have to let you know that I have been your fan since around 2005 when I discovered PC. I have ALL your books, even books that others write and include your work! I see you as a celebrity and if I ever had a chance in life to pick one celebrity to meet, it would be you, for real! Your work is remarkable, everything you create is amazing to me and I feel so blessed to be able to view your tutorials on RUclips, THANK YOU for sharing and providing such wonderful inspiration!!!
I agree she is the best!!! I have been binge watching her videos since last night when I found her channel!! It is just fascinating to watch her work producing such beautiful pieces!!
I don't know if anyone has commented about the mystery ball point tool yet... I think it's a tool printmakers use to polish small areas on copper plates used in etchings/intaglio. The handle is so large because a good amount of pressure has to be applied. Fascinating how many uses there are for tiny metal balls on a stick!
Interesting comment. ..to me it looks like a Gerry rigged contraption, as though someone took a dapping punch used for forming half spheres of metal and put it into the end of a handle used for metal files...Both explanations make sense to me....
I can’t believe that I made this cane and it didn’t look right…I forgot to put the white sheet between the first two pieces! 😖 So I’m not hating it, so I will just make it properly. Thanks Donna for another great idea! ❤
It has been a blessing that I came up on your channel featuring project Mud Cloth. I have 18 hrs in watching your video. You are exactly what I've been looking for. You are a marvelous teacher and your time in this industry is amazing and thank you for your love of Polymer
Thank you! I love black n white outfits and I cannot wait to put jewelry together with it..especially using your bead designs. Totally appreciate you teaching me and many other..love spending time with you ❤️
Thank you so much for this black and white series. When there are a lot of colors the techniques can sometimes get lost. I am learning so much from you, no matter how many times I watch the same video I learn something new. Thank you for your time, talent and generosity in creating these priceless videos for us. 🤗
Love watching your tutorials, and love the classy black and white designs. But I know me. I did a beautiful set of black and white earrings using the Sutton slice, but looked at them and said, “I’ll never wear those!” After applying some chalk pastels, I now wear them all the time. And I watched this thinking “what color could those snakes be?”
Donna, thank you, THANK you for all these tutorials. I STILL learn things from you after all these years playing with the clay myself!! I'm really enjoying this B&W series!
I’ve been enjoying your videos immensely and have learned so much. You are inspirational and I’m in a black and white phase now! I’ve also just received your black out clay and one of your books is on its way. 😀 Thank you for taking the time to create such detailed tutorials. Shirley.
Your mystery tool could actually be some kind of welding or heat application tool someone added a handle to to change its use. Or even for leather but I don't know if someone would hammer the end unless with lite rubber mallot.
Hi Donna, Jill here from The UK. After searching dndlessly for The fab see thru 2 inch ruler in The UK i discovered they were Quilting rulers, called The quilting Bear, available thru amaxon. Thought your UK fans might find this info useful.
Donna…beautiful simple little cane! Question….can the conditioning bar or your black out product be used with other brands of polymer clay? The craft stores in my rural area don’t carry Kato and shipping is so expensive these days that I just have to buy what I can find. But…. if I have a bunch of clay (premo mostly) that could benefit the conditioning bar etc., I might invest in the shipping cost to save my clay! Lol.
Donita, yes, it can be but it does soften clay so you have to be cautious if your clay is very soft to begin with. If your clay is old and advanced, it’d work really well. ❤️
Hello Donna, Thanks for the great detailed tutorials. Looping forward to make this cane. Do you know when the conditioning bar and Black out will be available in France?
When I was purchasing the clay that I have I didn’t buy much black clay (2 oz to be exact) because I didn’t think I would use black very often… HOW WRONG WAS I 😂 I now need to order myself some large blocks of black and another large block of white. From the side it looked like a guitar fret board :)
Well yesterday I was pretending to be Donna. I kept telling myself if Donna (73) could do it so could I (78). I wish one could put pictures in messages. Second attempt my pearls weren’t too bad

Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate it!❤️
My sentiments exactly
I agree she is the best!!! I have been binge watching her videos since last night when I found her channel!!
It is just fascinating to watch her work producing such beautiful pieces!!
I agree completely!! I too think that you are a 💫 star!! I am a beginner in clay and have so much to learn from you Donna!! Thank you always 😊
And your tutorials make me believe I can actually do these wonderful designs!!!
That cane is amazing! It also reminds me of a vine or succulent ❤❤❤
Every week I am looking forward to Thursday, then it is Donnatime. I love all your Tuts. Thank you Donna for learning us all these beauties.

It cheers me up no end to get a notification from your channel.
Thanks Donna!
The tool reminds me of tools jewellers use to do chasing/repousse techniques.
So cool❣️ Truly easy, but doesn't look easy at all.
I love to watch you work.
I love these vids when you say good bye then come back with more! You are so awesome-ready Teddy?
Me too, she’s got such a lovely, fun personality, just makes the video all that much more enjoyable to watch!
SOOOOO grateful for your generosity, Donna!!!!
Hyper graphique, des mains en or, des explications efficaces ; vous êtes une reine. Bonne vie DONNA KATO
Absolutely loving the simplicity and elegance of this cane! Thank you Donna for a wonderful tutorial! 💚
my pleasure! Hugs!
Im a newbie and love watching you work. Cant wait to have go.
The tool you have looks like a leather work tool
Donna, I am always learning and learning with your knowledge and fantastic technique!! Thank you so much 😊
Love this tutorial. I think your mystery tool could be a leather embossing tool. I recognise the handle from a leather maker I knew over 40 years ago.
I’m a knitter and I think this looks like boucle yarn 😊
The simplest things can be the most effective that's what I love about the contrast of black and white. Thank you Donna
I learned many many of you ! And also thanks God I have your book !
👍😊❤️🎉
I can’t believe that I made this cane and it didn’t look right…I forgot to put the white sheet between the first two pieces! 😖 So I’m not hating it, so I will just make it properly. Thanks Donna for another great idea! ❤
This cane is a "superstar" to me. I love it and can make it.
First time I’ve watched you, love it ❤
Hi I’m new to polymer clay I think is amazing
That's so clever. Thank you.
I really like this cane!
I love it! I will definitely be this. Thank you!

Thank you so much, Shirley! ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome tutorial! Your mystery tool is most likely a fabric or suede beading punch meant to make a divot without cutting the material.
I really enjoy your tutorials and your 'joy'. How awesome to get to share what you love! Thank you again for your time that you give to us😁
These are so cool, you always have such amazing tort, tfs
Thank you! I love black n white outfits and I cannot wait to put jewelry together with it..especially using your bead designs. Totally appreciate you teaching me and many other..love spending time with you ❤️
Thank you for getting me back into the clay after a twenty year hiatus! I met you at Bead and Button in Austin a million years ago!!!
Yay, Kathleen! 👏👏👏❤️
I really enjoy this B&W series.

I sure love all of the designs that are in your black and white series! I’m having fun making new ideas!
Thanks so much for your talent!
Thank you Donna. Enjoyed this tutorial. It's another great one.

Love everything you do. Thank you. I also like your add ons!
I wish I had ten thumbs so I could give you 10 thumbs up 😊
Aww!😊❤️
It looks like Birds on a telephone line.
I love that description!❤️
I’m so excited by this b n w series. Love these two 😻🙏🏽

Hmm, sounds reasonable. How did I get it???? A mystery.

@@DonnaKatoArt thank you so much for replying Donna! I’m going to give it a go once I get my hands on some lol!
Hello Donna,
Thanks for the great detailed tutorials. Looping forward to make this cane.
Do you know when the conditioning bar and Black out will be available in France?
I’m sorry, I don’t know. Soon, I hope! ❤️
