Wow! This was a very informative session. Learning how to make simple bullseye canes and turn them into beautiful beads was exciting to watch. However, the bonus were the information and tips you shared regarding making making secondary colors, conditioning clay, cane storage and etc... I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. Soon as my medical issues are resolved, I plan to to enroll in your classes.

This was really good to watch and even just as a review. As a linguist I gotta let you know there’s nothing wrong with saying OK all the time. It’s a perfect transition word. I’m always using “so”. Even as an intro to a little video. These words are useful and very innocuous, which means no one notices how much you say it.

I love these beads! 🥰 I love your cane collection. 😊As for the origin of lint. I am very convinced there are gnomes that sneak in and sift it like powdered sugar on a cupcake.😂 They are related to door ding gnomes, and the ones that steal random socks. 😋😂😉

When I open my mouth to talk, it makes a little “snap” noise. (I guess it’s spit or whatever.) Its SO hard to edit out that split-second sound but I always try. TMI? 😅

As always, Another beautiful and informative tutorial. Thank you Mrs Donna for sharing. I love those purple and magenta colors, so beautiful. A query: We use a Conditioning Bar to soften an old and hard clay which is brittle and crumble. What about an old Conditioning Bar?? Though its purpose is to soften hard clays, a Conditioning Bar is a clay as well. If it's an old one, doesn't it get hard as well? 😊 Thanks a lot ♥️

Annita, it's so soft, I can't imagine it getting hard but I guess it could happen. If it did, it'd be pretty easy to restore to its soft state, though. Cheers, D
