A Polymer Clay Tutorial: The Simple Striped Slab/Tile Came (reformat)

- Originally, this class appeared as many separate parts (my internet speed was soooo sloooow, I had no choice). Well, equipped with faster speed, I can now consolidate the parts and offer this tute as one part. Yay! So much easier to follow, right? Right.
Enjoy!

I am loving these longer, comprehensive tutorials you are doing. I also love all of the little domestic sounds in the background: Vernon doing laundry, the furry kids coming in to say hello, etc. It's all very cozy.
That's life! LOL. Hugs, D
I feel that you are too tough on yourself. What you describe as something not good looks to my untrained eye looks pretty darn good. Thanks for your great videos.
Thank you, Edwin. Much appreciate your kindness. ❤️
Thank you for sharing the ways the process can go wrong. You're such a great teacher ❣️
Another wow Donna! I have to say you have so much determination and strength. This one looks very challenging and you’ve made it several times. I love that you are driven to always improve on what you’ve made before. I think I would’ve thrown in the towel after a second try or so I love this cane however, I don’t think I could tackle it like you have fantastic work I have to say!
Thank you, Ellie! 😆❤️
AMAAAAAAAZING Donna!! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Susane! Cheers, D
My style is grungy and organic, I can’t imagine working with this precision. It’s kinda stressful just watching 😝. But also I’m surprised at how much clay you just *have*. Bucketfuls. I know you produce it but it’s like you need a whole garage just to store it! It’s fascinating to watch someone who works so differently with the same medium though.
I wish I could work more loosely! I’ve tried and it ends up looking sloppy because organic is controlled in a different way. I can’t explain why I can’t do it. My bestie, Leslie Blackford’s art, for instance, is out of my reach. Make sense?
I do have quite a bit of clay here! Some very old. I try to be conscientious about asking for clay from the factory and use what they have sent me. Lol, prairiecraft is a garage of clay! We buy it and sell it!
😊❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt I feel like people who work with precision like this have a very clear idea of what they want from the beginning, as well as how to get there. I kind of start with something sloppy and random then see what I have and react to it. It involves a type of editing of what you find yourself with. And surprise and spontaneity. I have sincerely tried to work like you and it always looks like absolute dookey 🤦♀️
Oh Donna, I so love watching you create, your precision and accuracy are wonderful. Watching you reduce is not boring! It's extremely helpful to see your techniques and you always make me chuckle with your expressions. Thank you for making this into one video, appreciated. That cane is gorgeous, love the colours and the pattern you created. Hope the furkids are well and not getting up to too much mischief. Have a beautiful day Donna.
Thank you, Mandy! Yes, the parts made it so hard to follow, I think...the furbabies are doing well. We have a new baby but he's got scales, no fur! Rocky, the Betta fish. I love him! Hugs, D
Thank you
You are an amazing teacher
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that. Cheers, D
Great job! Your tenacity is inspiring!! Thank you for going through this cane step by step. I admire that you showed us where the mistakes were and how to fix them. It's refreshing to watch such superb instruction.
Thank you, Vivian! I felt better after the second one. Sometimes you just have to bear down and do it, right? 😊❤️
Beautiful work 👏🎉👏
thank you!
Thank u so much for sharing!
Awesome!! Yes, it was valuable watching you go through the whole process until the final piece❣️I am intimidated by canes and am fascinated by the process. This was very fascinating and I really enjoyed watching each section as the cane progressed. Man, the compressing it down was a bear!! Thank you so much for sharing this, it was great to watch❣️
I think the clay was kind of old (stiff)! It’s my exercise! 😊❤️
wow that cane came out amazing, I am transfixed watching you work. Your attention to detail and neatness are beautiful.. I really struggle with soft clay and have just purchased some of yours, hopefully it will be perfect for me as I seem to have really warm hands... You are such an inspiration and I feel privileged to be able to watch you.. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. 😊😊
Thank you so much, Paula! I hope you like my clay. It definitely shines in caning and precision work, I think. 😊❤️
I’m always looking forward to your fun, soothing and educational tutorials, Donna. We share the same aesthetic (which means you’d make an awesome Mod-Parisienne!) ❤
Love that, Vee! So glad you enjoy! ❤️😊
@@DonnaKatoArt, Donna, I imagine using your measure (that the Chinese stole from you) and make two marks on the blocks would be good to place your cutter against. Then you make cuts even more perfect.
Also, with the cane you don’t like can’t you cut the orange stripe 4 ways and put in another color to tone down the orange stripe?
Thanks!
Thank you, Sheila Jean! You are too good to me! 😊😊
I didn’t see this one earlier, Donna oh, I’m so excited about this one!! thank you again for all the great and hard work you do
Guitar picks, Nancy!😊❤️
Chulísimo 😊
Thank you! 😊❤️
I was cheering the alignment of the cane. I wonder if you find the acrylic ends that Theresa Salgado sells, do you not find those helpful to reduce cane waste? Just curious, mostly. Thanks for this post Donna! ❤
You know, I had some acrylic cane discs for that once upon a time and I sort of lost them! I guess I'm just used to doing things a certain way and sooo, I just do it the old way! Hugs, D
I’m in love with this cane! I’m going to have to try this one! You’re so awesome!
You know, with the right colors, it's a great cane! Cheers, D
Great! Love this!!!!😍 This design for the cane is really cool, so many ways to use it.
I made guitar picks with them! ❤️😊
Wouah stunning work thank you for sharing this video 👏👏👏
My pleasure! 😊❤️
I Love your work. Thanks for sharing it with us. ❤
My pleasure, Susan!😊❤️
Yayyyy 😅, thank you so much for this one, its so beautiful 😍 💖!!
You are so welcome, Mary! ❤️❤️
Genial !!! 😍👏👌
Hi Fabi!❤️
May you please tell us the name of the lady who you are referring to I got her first name Wendy ????????, I could sit and watch you make things all day every day, I love the way you explain what and why your doing something and what might happen if you don't do it, tia Peta
Thank you, Peta! Sure, her name is Wendy Jorre de St. Jorre. She’s Australian and so talented! 😊❤️
Hi Donna I need to ask a big Favour I'm gonna buy a Foredom adjustable speed foot pedal but I have no idea how to attach it to the paste machine motor, I know you have a foot pedal for yours so was hoping you could do a video on how to do it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE xx ❤
Hi! I will take some pictures, okay? I can do that tomorrow. 😊❤️
Hi Donna did you do a video of photos of installing foot pedal, if so where do I find them xx ❤
What was that hexagonal tool you used to mark the slab with even measurements? That would be so much easier than what I'm doing.
That’s a tool I designed called the Marxit. Got knocked off by China so we don’t make it anymore. Someone was selling the knock off but I can’t recall who that was. It’s a good tool…if I find the seller, I’ll post it to the Community. 😊❤️
I was told that that is a zipper cane.
Yes, it is. Maybe I need a little Zipper Cane tute…with Big Beads!!! Cheers!
Hi I 'd like to make such a cane, I would to make for me and my three sisters 4 different cubes for earrings starting from the same base. I have drawn it on paper and then cut out triangles to reconstruct again. It is an immens work to do on and with paper. So is anybody here familiar wich drawing program would suit for such a project? I tried paint but it doesn't do what I want, cut and paste a triangle to make a new square....
You know, I use ProCreate and I think you'd be able to do that pretty easily. There is a learning curve but if I can do it, anyone can!!! Good luck!
Thank you!
Just looked it up...only for Ipad...😢
How do I join your classroom?
Hello! I can provide that link!
Here it is: th-cam.com/channels/eRlb3K2k-_b1QAGYDuW1IQ.htmljoin
Now, all levels receive the same benefit, you just get to choose what works best for you.
Cheers, D
I am confused cause you already have most ready to put together without Us knowing how to do it…
The basic component is the striped slab in various color combos. You make them, cut slices, add a few sheets and off you go! ❤️
your lines on 1 end are out of line
Okay...
Love the tutorial and have found it brutally impossible. I've ruined two 12 ounce blocks of clay trying to get it right. I'm so frustrated and disapppointed.
Okay, David, I need to see this! Can you send me pics? My email is dkkato@gmail.com! If that doesn’t work, maybe Zoom? I am not so familiar with Zoom but I think we can do it, kid. ❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt You are so sweet! I think I'm just not talented! lol I'll send you pics of what I'm doing. lol It's awful. Just don't laugh! lol
@@DonnaKatoArt Actually I was just thinking, might it be easier for me to do a video to show you the problems and just email you the link? I don't want to take up your time on zoom. But I also don't know that still pics would explain well. lol
