[@fancifuldevices]

I love all your explanations of the things you like/dislike about your example pieces. They all looked amazing to me and then you started mentioning details that made sense and made me appreciate your work even more.

Love the new format.

[@sandrasmale5871]

Absolutely fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing this technique.

[@grannyjclay-joannieholdhus925]

This was very intriguing to me❤Thank you so much….loving the way you teach!! Would you mind telling me where you got the little gold rod? Thank you so much, Donna!❤

[@DonnaKatoArt]

hi! no problem, the brass rod came from a hobby store. you know they sell lengths of the stuff in different diameters and they usually have left over pieces because they cut to requested lengths. I have a few and they're different lengths. I believe Michaels does it, too but you'd find the brass rods in the hobby part of the store. now, may i ask a favor? would you mind subbing to my channel? it'd help me a lot and it's free! thanks in advance! hugs, d

[@Frewtsalad]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My husband is an artist and we wanted to collaborate on a design, but I couldn't work out how to get the look I wanted with a complex cane. Components will be much better.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

So glad this helps! How wonderful, collaborating with your hubs - fantastic!😊❤️

[@annietwemlow9967]

So beautiful. I love this technique. I will definitely make lots of these.

[@my93agestav]

❤love this one i always come back to it🎉

[@DonnaKatoArt]

I love it, too. It’s easy and it produces very beautiful results. Big hugs! D

[@corinne1691]

So lovely, it would make a beautiful Christmas tree ornament. I just love this technique!

[@petadianeyoung3958]

Love this new version, may you please tell me what colour you used for the new chalky green colour that you used ?

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Let me make a specific formula! I will do it today!😊❤️

[@edwinleach4013]

Very Nice!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Thank you, Edwin! Cheers, D

[@dorotaniznik5728]

Love it!!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Thank you!!

[@carolannmacarthur759]

This turned out beautifully. I am going to try this tomorrow. I do have a question though. If you want to make a brooch/pin, do you bake it then attach a pin clasp and bake it again? Or, do you glue a pin on? I haven’t made a pin yet and I am a beginner with polymer clay.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Carol Ann, I make and cure the piece first, then set it and embed the finding. I’ve been using tie tacs quite a bit as they are easy to embed and very secure. I’ll do a demo tute on this soon. 😊❤️

[@nancyrich09]

I was wondering if there was a link to the metallic transfer paper

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi! Lisa Pavelka sell some. I believe Michaels sells their own as well. Sorry, I don’t have a link! Cheers!

[@judibennett132]

Wait! What was that gold roller you used to get the pasta machine ripples out with?!! It's a great frustration to me.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Judi, you can use any straight sided rod. Bic stick would work, my brush, etc. Cheers!❤️

[@jone6635]

Love it! Mil gracias

[@DonnaKatoArt]

So glad!❤️!

[@janisferrante3739]

can you please show us how to do the purple and white flower on your "painting"? That piece is so beautiful..actually every thing you do is so beautiful!!

[@beverleybee1309]

The original piece is from her book, "The Art of Polymer Clay: Millefiori Techniques". She is a remarkable author. Back "in the day" before the Internet, her books were THE books to have. They were clear, understandable, and thorough. I'm so thrilled she decided to do videos of her work.

[@anniehartley8851]

This reminds me of when we did Medieval tiles, but it is completely different, there are two ways with coloured slip, one you carve the design and then fill in, or you just put the design on with the slip, it looks very calming to do, must be fun, I enjoyed doing tiles, but it is in the firing where all will go wrong, in real clay you get warping and burning, explosions, if you done it wrong, and then the glazing...FUN...

[@DonnaKatoArt]

I tried ceramics…I got dirty! I wish I could…

[@anniehartley8851]

@@DonnaKatoArt there is a method where you do not use so much water.
