merci Dona pour ce beau tutoriel, vos explications sont claires. je ne suis pas très bavarde simplement je tiens à vous dire que je suis une fan. je vous suis de France.😍🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@robiesweet3886]

So many wonderful tips. Unfortunately, my memory can't contain them all and I'll have to rewatch the video when I'm making these kinds of beads. I don't mind that a bit. It's like rereading a book: you always find new information that you missed in the first reading.

[@cynthiakammann7368]

I will be doing the same, for the same reasons❣️ I'm thinking of the tutes as a recipe. I always read through a recipe in advance of using it- for one thing it lets me know if there's anything I need that I don't already have. The first time I make a recipe I usually follow it exactly; after that I may change it up.

[@dianedodge2650]

I love these beads but I don’t wear too much jewelry. I will need to think of another way to use these. ? Hmmmm your tutorials are wonderful!

[@tonyamiller8418]

[@elizabethkisanniespottypeo6712]

Brilliant, fabulous demonstration, you are definitely a top notch ARTIST, I only hope I could have just a fraction of your skills. There is just one question - the 300 degrees is that celcius or Fahrenheit? Grateful to anyone who can answer this.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi! 300f! About 150c ( I think that’s it!) 😊❤️

[@elizabethkisanniespottypeo6712]

Thankyou, saves me cremating them at 300c@@DonnaKatoArt

[@metterling1]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@MDPDIY]

Muchas gracias por este magnífico tutorial Donna. El gel traductor del vídeo me dice que usas “ gel repelente” no conozco ese producto. Podrías decirme cuál es para comprarlo? Muchas gracias desde Tenerife de una antigua alumna en Madrid. Un saludo. Marisa.♥️🌹

[@hollylowery26]

I love the marks it tool. (I think that's what you called it) Where can I buy it? I searched Google but got nothing. 😥 So happy to see how you make these beautiful beads. Love the necklace 😍 I'm sure it can get heavy. I have learned so much during this video. All the tips on how to deal with items that have gotten a little wonky during the baking. Thank you!!!!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Holly! We stopped making it when we got ripped off by China. Someone was selling it but I don’t recall who that was. If I find it, I will let everyone know. It’s a good tool! Cheers, D

[@miibutiik9911]

Hi Donna. Do you have a tutorial on how to form a mumm, a pattern with balls, in colors black, white like in your works.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi! I’m sorry, do you want a caned mum? I need more info!

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

Question 30 mins from a cold oven? No preheating? Just remove at 30 mins?

[@DonnaKatoArt]

You know, I don’t preheat my oven! Sometimes pieces do cool down in the oven, though. I tend to do multiple curings so the final curing might be 40 minutes!

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

Anyone know where to get the grey octagonal measuring too?

[@DonnaKatoArt]

You know, Jill, that’s my invention. We got ripped off by China but we were not going to continue making them because they were so expensive to make. We may bring the Chinese tools in, though. So much cheaper than making them ourselves. How about that!

[@SuzettePooley]

for how long do you cure each peace at a time

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Suzette. For a piece that is cured one time, I cure long - 40 - 60 minutes. Fr multiple curings, I pobably go 15 minutes at a time. The last curing is longer 30 minutes, maybe. Cheers!

[@SuzettePooley]

can the repel gel be rplaced with something else i dont find it in mi country.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

You know, I think Nori paste works, its actually glue but it's water based and used for paper. Can you get that?

[@jilllloyd-jones624]

Tool,,,
