Black & White Series, Sizzling Rice Cane in Polymer Clay

Black and White goes with everything! I will be sharing my favorite black and white canes and techniques, then, we'll use them to make a statement piece of wearable art.

Black and white...the timeless classic. Thank you.

I really appreciate you posting on KZbin. You’re doing a great job.

[@grandkidsareme]

Love this one! Can’t wait to keep going and make all these components! And FYI- k!! Don’t stop off camera convos! I love them!! Hearing you in your element makes us feel like we are right there with you! Don’t change a thing!

[@grittykitty50]

Nancy, totally agree. These informal sessions are like dropping in on an exceeding interesting neighbor.

[@a.r5079]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! THANK YOU!!!

[@Crystalnachi]

Love, love and love. You are such a joy to watch and learn from! Thank you so much Donna!

[@pohlianlim1427]

Hi Donna. It's eye-opening to see that with just black and white colors, you can create something beautiful by just playing with the patterns. Gorgeous patterns, by the way. And your bloopers actually liven up your video. They tell me you're just human, a comical one, but still a very good teacher!

[@scriptedluxboutique8490]

I just love watching what you do. So amazing!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Aww, thank you so much! 😊❤️🎉

[@medusassnakes70]

I haven't worked with clay in a couple years but watching you reminds me of how much fun and how rewarding it is. Can't wait to see the rest. Thanks!

[@sybille2998]

sorry, did not understand what happened from minute 30:50 to 31:10( ‘’so I reduced the cane” …)

[@leahhhagann]

Throughly enjoyed this!! Thank you❤

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Glad you enjoyed it!😊❤️

[@elainestorrs1512]

Beautiful!!

[@pamelajensen8838]

Oh Donna! This looks like so much fun! I’ve embraced the classic pairing. Never out of season. As essential as that “little black dress”.

[@kristibbradshaw]

I love this cane.

[@jodinicholas890]

OMG...thank you. I will love this series of back and white canes. I ordered some blackout to help me get rid of my ugly scraps. You are a master and this was right at my understanding level.

[@maudemccarthy1667]

Getting to watch you is magical! Thank you Donna😊

[@nadiazayman779]

Thank you for generously sharing your skills and creativity! This cane reminds me of bamboo motifs from glamorous deco designs.

[@Robsquick]

Beautiful!! Black and white is my favorite! Just looks classy 😍. Vernon is probably tired of shipping orders to me 🤣🤣🤣

[@cristinamarinelli3395]

Thanks for all these video, you are a great design and olso a great theacher, I love so much you clay, with this temperature it ‘s a perfect clay.

[@jessicamiller3540]

Donna, I love the fact that you dried off your square tool with your shirt. You are human after all. Comments like these really personalize your lessons. I think "I do that too!" As always a great teacher in person and via video. Thank you so much.

[@jennymarsden4736]

Love that you are doing a black and white series. Also I must get my hands on some Blackout. What an amazing product.

[@cheryldixon1806]

Thanks for another fun tutorial.

[@maureenrobinson2111]

You are the best polymer clay instructor I've ever listened to or watched. I learned about you by accident! Love your convos! Will keep watching you always!❤

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Oh, thank you so much, Maureen! I appreciate your kind words. Truly. 😊❤️

[@debbeechy]

Thanks so much for your nice tutorials.

[@AnkisCreation]

Love it🥰 Thank You Donna🥳

[@michelleheiland4798]

A beautiful simple cane sooo useful

[@darsmith3448]

Hello Mrs. Donna! I recently watched your Mud Cane video (and loved it!). As I look at the beginning of this video, I see the "X's". I paused and tried to remember how to make the Mud Cane one. I could not. No worries. I am learning! And I love learning! I am at the 2 minute mark! Thank you!!! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene p.s. I, too, wear black...

[@darsmith3448]

LOL I see the difference in the Mud Cane tutorial and the Rice Cane!!! Thank you!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Pattern canes become visually reducing down to the smallest parts. They’re puzzles! Hugs❤️

[@eileencrayton2306]

I have been playing with polymer clay for about a year now. I had never heard of Kato Black out polymer clay. I was wondering what to do with mud or gray clay. I'm so glad I was watching your videos. Thank you.

[@DonnaHawkTx]

"yes, it's cat fur" I'm dyin'! Thank you so much for being you.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

I can’t win so I just go along! 😊❤️

[@lyndamchugh249]

Nice design

[@pattiunderwood7026]

always the best

[@patriciahill7033]

Thanks!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Thank you, Patricia!❤️

[@etgdesignstudio]

There are so many things I appreciate about your videos and the generosity of knowledge & artistry you share with us. But my favorite bit of knowledge today is that even the fabulous Donna Kato has to contend with cat hair (the bane of my existence, but oh my goodness they are worth it).

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Lol! They are so worth it!😊❤️

[@lclarke522]

Donna, you are so relaxing to watch. I am so glad I found out that you have this channel. It brings me back to the VHS tape days from Mindstorm Productions. I had little kids at the time and was always exhausted. But I'd put on your videos when I had a moment to myself, lie down on the couch, and watch you make things. I dozed off quite a lot, if I'm being honest, but I watched the tapes often enough that I eventually saw the whole thing. You're just such a relaxing presence! 😁 I was reminded of those days while watching this one because it sometimes sounded like ocean waves in the background. I had to fight the urge to take a nap. I am so relaxed right now, lol! Thanks, Donna, for everything you share so freely! 💕

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Lisa! Mindstorm! Oh, my that was a long time ago, kid. I have been putting folks to sleep for decades! I am good at it! So glad to hear from you. The kids must be big now. Take good care of yourself. Hugs, D❤️

[@lclarke522]

@@DonnaKatoArt Oh, yes, but putting people to sleep in a GOOD way 😁 (The kids are 20 and 23 now 😱) Thanks for the reply, looking forward to the next video! -L

[@grittykitty50]

Donna, don't know if you'll see this, but I would MUCH RATHER have you creating and posting content than have you spend time replying to every comment. Just my 2 cents.

[@amaliaboto]

You are the best

[@carolhammond9624]

❤❤❤

[@runawaybead]

Your amazing 😊🌹

[@DonnaKatoArt]

😊 thank you!

[@annagray6491]

I would have pulled all my hair out trying to work out the square that way! I think I would have used a square cutter to do the marking or does that not work? Love your work though!

[@sherylwright5705]

I really like how this one turned out. It is like a trellis. I know you have shown reducing in many of your videos and I understand the process, but what I would like to know is how long did it take you to go from the initial cane to the stretched out cane?

[@DonnaKatoArt]

I wish I could recall, kid. I take my time reducing and so I think I am slower than others might be…❤️

[@karenthomas2302]

Loving the black and white, and have to ask did y’all get a new camera? Because your not doing snippets here and there anymore. That’s nice. Tfs

[@DonnaKatoArt]

I had to! I burned up 240gb on my 256gb phone! Sooo, it’s a reg camera and imovie editing. Lesrning!

[@karenthomas2302]

@@DonnaKatoArt awesome

[@giselabauer7491]

Hab so oft diese Schmuckteile nachzuarbeiten ist mir aber nicht gelungen .entweder es verschmilzt,oder es wird alles grau obwohl ich mir die Hände sehr oft Wäsche . An was liegt das Die Stücke werden auch beim Schneiden zerdrückt Meine Pastamaschine hat auch keine so dicke Einstellung 2mm dickest

[@RebelCatLady]

Donna - How much white clay did you start with to get that 1"x2" plug?

[@DonnaKatoArt]

I don’t know, JR. I’d estimate about an ounce…

[@beckybalman8664]

Has your red grid ruler got a name. I Can’t find one !

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Becky, we sell it through Prairie Craft, kid. The link is in the description, kid. Here’s the link! I love it. prairiecraft.com/kato/DKF-WB70.html

[@larryross9492]

I talk to my clay all the time. Often, I am saying "WTF?"

Me, too!!!❤️
