- Welcome to my channel!
In this tutorial, you'll earn how to make a very simple mica striped bead. This is something I made quite a while ago and just never did anything much with. Perhaps it will be useful to you.
Enjoy!
Cheers, D

Donna, thank you for being such a light in the darkness. I would never have imagine that I could make something like this-but you've made a believer out of me.
That pleases me so much. Thank you. Make lots of beads! Big hugs, D
What the WHAT hey?? I'm a bit freaking out. I was just singing Rawhide while waiting for the coffee. It's been years since I've seen/ heard the intro music- no idea why it popped in & out of my head so it's pretty bizarre. Ya gotta sing the word "RAWHIDE" loud! I can hear that whip a-snappin. LOL.
Thank you for your fabulous video lessons. You make it easy & so enjoyable to learn. Your gentle easy voice makes it extra special. The laugh & giggle sprinkled around is a bright light. I love your "human-ness" I think we all need to see Louie soon. Rawhide.. still chuckling.
I loved that show! Hugs, D
OMGosh! I worked with polymers 30+ years ago (The Bear Facts/as Bonnie Franklin) then began working with silversmithing instead, which I still do but have kinda burned out on. I’ve always admired your work. So here I am watching you and it is really fueling my sense of creativity! Thank you for that! ❤.
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona.
I remember watching your segments on 'the Carol Duval Show' a hunnert years ago and so happy to have rediscovered you!
Thank you, Jerry!❤️
Donna, I just wanted to say "thank you".
In a world where people can be so selfish, it's amazing that a world renowned artist, teacher, & author would do these lessons for us for free. So, thank you.
This project is so beautiful, I love it!
One thing I wanted to ask...did you invent & design the Marx-it tool?
You are so welcome, I hope they’re useful for you! I would love to see them made and used! Yes, I did invent the tool. It became impossible to have them made…hugs, D
Hi Donna. I just found you. I love your videos your calm funny teaching style. You got me to put down my card making stuff and go back to clay. Very therapeutic. Thank you ❤
I could watch you forever
Thank you, Lesley!❤️
I LOVE how you come back!
Lol! I cannot help it, Cynthia! ❤️
This bead is stunning, love it. Over time with age, I have converted to white gold and silver so I'd do this with silver for myself.
Love the way you designed these beads. Beautiful and such an imaginative method. And I agree with madebymellyjewelry's comment. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and ideas!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that. These beads have been knocking around my studio for a few years - thought it was time I put them out for you guys. Have fun! Hugs, D
How awesome! Those color would work well with Tigers eye! Thank you. I haven’t done polymer clay for years, and I’ve been watching all your videos and buying things here and there to get back into it. I like these because they don’t use a lot of colors.
I am so glad you like them and that you’re getting back into polymer clay! That really pleases me! And, yes, not a lot of colors. I try not to do classes that require pages of supplies…hugs! D
These beads remind me of humbug candies! Another project I will have to add to my list. Thank you Donna! I have to add that I totally do not mind that your goodbyes are not final and that you come back again to clarify things.
Hi Sheryl! I don’t know those candies. I think I should google! Lol, I can’t help it, i go away, but sometimes I return..! Big hugs, D
I do love watching you work and I love your musings as you work. Thank you so much x
You are so welcome❤️!

What a lovely and versatile veneer. Little taste of glam and/or Carnivale depending on how far you take it. They sand and buff so beautiful! 🥰 Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad you like these, Andrea! They’d been waiting for me to do share them!, big hugs, D
You are an inspiration 🌈
Thank you, Jane! Hugs, D

Hi Denise! These beads were waiting for me to share them…they were! Hugs, D
They are beautiful, thanks for sharing your talents ❤
My pleasure! Enjoy! 😊❤️
Wonderful!...thank you for sharing! ...I finally found the metal rod I believe you use for rolling/smoothing on Amazon. Would you tell me what size/diameter it is?...thanks so much Donna!
I think it’s probably 6-8mm in diameter. I have 2 and one is larger than the other! ❤️
P.S. IVE HAD YOUR BOOKS FOR YEARS AND AM GOING TO GET THEM BACK OUT FOR A REFRESHER COURSE 😜
👍
Thank you for another great tutorial ❤ 😊. I really like these ❤❤😊!!
Yay, Mary! I like them, too. Fun to make and I think they’re pretty to boot! Big hugs, D
LOL with your encores! You’re like the rockstars that come back and sing one more song. 🤣 These beads are stunning yet so simple. Where does one find Aubranet or however you spell it?
LOL, it’s hard to leave but I felt the info was important so there’d be no confusion about why yours might look different. The product is Abranet and I know you can get it on Amazon. Great stuff! Hugs, D
Thank you! ❤😊
You're welcome! Hugs, D
Très beau! Bravo pour"difficile" en français 😂😊🎉
❤❤❤
Merci! Bisous! ❤️
I’d love to know where you purchase your micro mesh and other tools.
We used to sell MicroMesh. I bet you can get it on Amazon - which is where I get most of my stuff!❤️
I love this! I’m going to try to make a bowl using this technique. Question: what is a blue blade?
It’s that blade I sometimes use. It’s blue and soo sharp! 😊❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt thank you. Where can I buy one?
Hello Donna, sorry if it’s asked elsewhere but I can’t find the answer. At the start you conditioned gold and white, did you mix them together/ blend them together? If so why? Thank you.
They are beautiful beads, very striking.
Btw, I loved you saying Australian like you did, lol yes I’m Australian 🇦🇺 😁
Okay! Sorry if that was confusing. No, they are not mixed together! They are separate. Hugs, D
😅I love the beads and love the neck piece you show at the end,but I was unable to find it in members only or any place. Can you please help!
Sorry! That class is being edited this week and it will be up on Sunday. I think you guys will like it! Big hugs, D
The wrapper is Donna proof lol😂❤
The hardest part is u wrapping the clay! 😊
18:13 it might not bother you but it may bother the end user. When i buy things at craft fairs I won’t buy something if the pattern cuts off like that,…it drives my ocd crazy!
I understand, different strokes, kid. Now, I hope you make one and do precisely what makes you happiest. Polymer clay can satisfy everyon. Good luck! Hugs, D
@@DonnaKatoArt how passive-aggressively condescending of you. I was simply reminding you that when you sell your work these are things to consider is all, it wasn’t criticism, take a deep breath and stop internalizing everything, your trauma is showing.
Donna what do you use to get the high shine ? I like the shine better than resin. Thank you and God bless you and your family
Hi Joan! I sand and polish. I have an electric buffer with a sheepskin cover. I think I show the process in the translucent overlay beads! I’m pretty sure I did. Hugs, D❤️😊
Hi Donna, I'm watching your wonderful tutorials in Australia and I can't find any aubinet. Am I spelling it correctly?
Hi Sarah! Okay, the product is Abranet. I use mostly the P180 and P120. It is really great to taking a lot of material off quickly! Hugs, D
Hello Donna Kato, may I ask you something, where do you order the eyelet jump rings with the opening on the side?
I hope you will let me know. Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards grandma Conny from the Netherlands 😉👍🍀🇳🇱🌹
Hi Conny! You can find them on Amazon or PandaHall. Now, make sure the opening is on the side - I have seen some where it’s on one end! That’s the worst. Good luck!
Great video, how long did you put the clay in the oven?
I generally cure for 20 - 40 minutes at 300! Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations! ❤️
Donna, I can´t find the necklace that you show at the end of this video on the member area? The one that you bring in at the end to show us the difference in sanding? Is it up on th member area? Thank you.
It’s coming this Sunday! Hugs, D
@@DonnaKatoArt thank you so much.😍
Hello Donna Kato. I happened on your videos about a month ago and immediately became a subscriber and started watching one video after the next as each one is as interesting as the other. Eager to learn more I have purchased two of your books, "Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques" and "The Art of Polymer Clay Creative Surface Effects" from Amazon. I have purchased most of the basic materials to begin learning to make jewelry using polymer clay and also intend to take your paid online tutorial classes. However, I am very interested in purchasing canes to begin making and selling jewelry. I have done several searches on Etsy, Amazon. and Google and not been able to find any similar to your canes. Do you sell canes or take request for custom canes? I am very interested and willing to compensate you for your time. Please know that you are appreciated for sharing your talent and creativity with us.
Hi Vanessa! You know, my canes are really quite simple. I prefer patterns over representational images because they’re more useful in my work. Now, if I didn’t have the channel, I would happily make canes for you but I just can’t do both. If you don’t mind, I will ask members in the classroom if they might connect with you. I like helping people connect! Big hugs, D
@@DonnaKatoArt Thank you for taking time to respond to my request. I totally understand your busy schedule as I watch so many of your videos, new and earlier content. I promise to continue learning and rise to a level where I am confident in my ability to create beautiful pieces. In the meantime, I would love to be connected with someone willing to make canes for purchase. Thank you again. 💗
Where can I purchase that blue blade?
Oh, I wish I could remember! Let me see if I can find out! Cheers, D
How many millimeters is the ball? To make the groves?
I would estimate it to be about 3-4mm in diameter. 👍
Thanks Donna. I am having so much fun with these classes. I made these beads and I'm planning to make a choker necklace. I need input on how these came out if you can critique my work please. Thank you.
😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
❤❤❤🙏🏽🥳

Очень красивые и оригинальные бусины!!!😊😊😊👍👍👍👌👌👌. У вас всегда очень оригинальные украшения получаются: вы меня вдохновляете, хочется сделать что нибудь подобное. Обожаю полимерную глину!!! Желаю вам творческих успехов!!!
