A Polymer Clay Tutorial Brought to You by the Letter "S"

[@m.c.5124]

Ms Kato I truly love your gentle humor and sing song entertainment of yourself. It’s like we are in the room with you. And indeed I wish I were. I love your artistic eye and once more your willingness to share your ideas and talents. Thanks and know you may be kicking around in your house, we are out here with you just in different circumstances. 😘

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Aww, thank you! You know, I feel like you’re with me, seriously, as I chatter and hum, I feel you guys are there, too. I’m never lonely in my studio, I have Louis, Dusty, Ditto, clay and you! Lucky me! Hugs, 😊❤️🎉!

[@smccarter64]

I love it when Donna sings “doink, doink, da doink! 😂

[@JeanneEliseMHeydecker]

I would also recommend drawing out all your letters after you complete your S so that all the rest of your letters feel like they are part of the same font.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Good idea!😊❤️

[@andrea.rivers]

I truly appreciate how you show all these steps, especially when you alter the plans (like how you went smaller). It's very helpful to the way I learn. Plus you're just a joy to watch. 😁I'm looking forward to figuring out how the KZbin classroom thing works because I really don't want to miss a single video. Your uploads are the highlight of my week.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Thank you, Andrea! I appreciate your kind words!😊❤️

[@sbourne9924]

Hi Donns, Thank you for the S cane. My two initials are S&B, the most curvy letters. This is the best S letter demonstration I have ever seen. I love it❤. Thank you

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Thank you so much. I will do a tute on B, P, D - similar letters soon. 😊❤️

[@mandyhall1674]

Oh Donna, I just love your tutorials, interesting and fun. Love the way you hum too! Thank you for another wonderful tutorial and have a beautiful day x

[@DonnaKatoArt]

You are so welcome, Mandy! 😊❤️

[@JeepsyPainter]

Watching you alter the size & go through your troubleshooting process is SOOO helpful. I would love more of this! 💞 The humor wins the internet though. 😂 Snack time is a thing!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Snacks! Thank you do much, Kat! 😊❤️

[@lightbulbnirvana]

Hey Donna, thanks for your toots on the Letter "S". Some great tips to go forward with other less complex letters. This could be called the sesame street series! That's three "S"s to you!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Lol! Yes, it is the Sesame Street Series! 😊❤️

I love your nail polish. So springy. Reminds me of Hyacinths.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

It’s Joya. I got it on Amazon in a set of 4 colors. Dries pretty fast, Denise. The set is called Under the Mistletoe! Hugs!😊❤️

This video just popped up in my recommended. I used to watch you when you would come on HGTV with Carol Duvall around 1998 or '99 (there abouts) Vintage HGTV!!!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

You’re so welcome, Solveig!😊❤️

[@GLorious_Creations]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent. The patience you possess is a true inspiration, I could only wish to have 1% of... 🙂. You are so talented, Ms. Kato. (Oh, and I adore using your softener and blackout too.) Thanks again for sharing with the world.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Thank you so much! Yes! The softener and Blackout are really good! I love them. 😊❤️

[@GLorious_Creations]

@@DonnaKatoArt You're welcome. Thanks again for everything you share!

[@beateschoneich2821]

Hello Donna, Thank you for these great letter tutorials. It doesn't always work for me right away because my hands don't want to. but it does not matter. I love your tutorials and hope there will be many more. If the English isn't quite correct, it's the fault of the Google translator 😀 because my English isn't very good at all. Beate Schöneich sends you greetings from Germany😘

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hello, Beate! I am so glad you’re here and you enjoy the tutorials! Thank you so much. I will do my very best. Big hugs to you, Donna 😊❤️

[@lynetteshorten6043]

Love watching your work

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Thank you! Cheers! Happy New Year, too!

[@BieneSonneimHerz3208]

hello donna I would be very happy about a video about the anchor in two colors (black/gold). i'm a big fan of them. Thank you for the great videos. Sabine

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Noted, Sabine! You mean an anchor, like boat anchor? Cheers, D

[@paulaskuse559]

OMG I had planned to try to make my signature cane today but something cropped up and stopped me. It’s like it was meant to be 😊 so glad I hadn’t attempted yet! Next it will be how to interlink the letters like yours 😂. I was going to try mine touching so the front of the P is the back of the S also, if that makes sense.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Perfect timing! I think I understand. Cool!😊❤️

[@clare9637]

Hi Donna. Thank you for the video. I hadn't thought of the challenges of making the letter "S". I want to join your classroom, where will I find the link to make my payments?

[@soothsayer4988]

Hi Donna. I'd also like to know this

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Glad you liked it, Clare! The classroom will open Wednesday. You’ll see a Join button next to Subscribe! I’m excited!😊❤️

[@soothsayer4988]

[@sharonkeef0522]

[@trudifido8086]

I am back to clay again after a years long break and discovered videos on how to condition your clay! I want to do the incredible letter blocks you have designed but am unable to find the videos you reference. Can you please link me? Thanks!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Trudi! Ok, the first one was Rai’s initial cane, then I did the letter S so there are only two, so far. B and D are scheduled for Sunday! If you scroll down, you will find them! Cheers, D😊❤️

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Trudy, here is the other tute! A Polymer Clay Tutorial; Rai's Initial Cane Bonus: M and W! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYe1i3yMnsehjK8

[@trudifido8086]

Thanks for the prompt reply. You started me on Polymer back with Carol Duvall. You have always been so magnificently precise! I still have tapes of her shows with you! 20 seconds in to this video you mention a raised cane video? That is what I am looking for - Thanks again!

[@cynthiahighfield3063]

Hi Donna, I would love to join the classroom tutorials but can't find a "Join" prompter. Please help!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Wednesday! The Join button will be there, 😊❤️!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

It’s coming on Wednesday!😊❤️

[@sharonkeef0522]

Obtw I had to create a new account just to order so I can’t access my old account on ur website I tried over n over to reset

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Sharon, can you email me and I will pass it on to Vernon, will straighten it out, kid. [e-mail]. 😊❤️

[@kalonakitu]

Hello Donna. I signed up to join. However, I think I may have paid three times by accident. I don't know how to tell or how to fix it if I did. I'm so sorry. I couldn't tell if the transaction was going through, so i probably repeated it multiple times. It's under the name Janell Sparks. I'm sorry if I messed up things.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Let me check, okay? I think the system wouldn’t take it but let’s make sure. 😊❤️

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Kalona, I don’t see your name at all. Can you access the classes? Are you getting the member posts in the community? It could just take time for the system to process - I will keep checking, okay? We will make sure you don’t have multiple payments! That’d be terrible…❤️

[@kalonakitu]

@@DonnaKatoArt woohoo - I finally got it to work for me. I don't know why it wasn't working before. The membership purchase went through and I see the membership posts now. Yay!

[@BelindaPort]

Hi Donna, I would love to join your channel. Is it possible to pay with Paypal, without having to link my Paypal account to Google Pay? The latter has been breached by scammers too often.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Gosh, Sarah, I don’t know…sorry, kid. Let me check, okay? 😊❤️
