ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- In this tutorial, another installment of "I made these canes, now what?" you'll learn to make a simple Mandala and turn it into a ring.
Tools and Materials
Canes - a selection of simple, reduced canes
Black clay or preferred base ring color - 2 ounces
Metal draping form - I’ve used both Fat Daddio's round cake pans and Ikea small metal bowls
Polypaste and brush
Stainless steel ring band to cover - in this class we will not cover an all clay band but I promise I will do that soon.
Various sculpture smoothing and blending tool - a nylon tool would also work
Texture sponge - Dualplex Frigie Liner is very close to my Spanish sponge
Sanding materials - I’ve used Abranet P180 and Micro Mesh 1800 but you may certainly use 400 and 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper or medium and fine grit sanding sponges
Nivea or other greasy lotion and a clean, soft toothbrush

Would love a class making the purple cane. Enjoyed this class !!
I need - will - to do that. That is a very useful cane! 😊❤️
So excited!... Not only because I adore the ring, but because I JUST RECENTLY was given 2 of those exact bath bomb molds (I think that's what they are?)..Yay!!! ... And, I agree with the other person who said she'd like a lesson on the purple 3D cane someday. Love it! 💖
Perfect, Tanya! Those bath bomb molds are perfect for this. I will do the 3d purple cane, too!😊❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt 💖💖💖!
Love these mandalas!
I love those rings 👌🏼
Thanks for the Nivea tip Donna! I found the travel size cans at Target for $1.39👍🏻
I might just have to start making canes, this is such a lovely ring!
As for tech help - check your local public library, they might very well have a tech help person you can go to and they will explain/fix things for free, the library I work at has someone like that.
Yes! Thanks fir the tip! I just may have to do that unless I can coax a nephew to trek west! 😁❤️
not half way, yet , but I had to giggle I am computer savvy , and I can't keep up with all of the dings and bells.🛎🛎🛎🔔🔔🔔love you Donna💟
TamTam! I don’t know what the heck is dinging! Help me, help me? 😊❤️
My oh my these are super delish! I'm so happy I became a member of your classroom, I truly am 💜🫠💜

Well hells bells Donna!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will wear this ring!!! You do spoil us! Sweet lady, you are a jewel!!! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene p.s. A little birdie dropped a ten in the kitty. Gonna have to spend it on the prairie. Forever in your debt. Less can often be more!
Hi Dar! I am so glad you like it! Big hugs😊❤️🎉
@@DonnaKatoArt Methinks everyone does! I like your style. It is down to earth, no fluff!!! A ring, earrings, and necklace!!! Bracelet? I see you put up another ring base... no metal?!?!?!? Big hugs back at you!
3:55 Your triangles aren’t all facing the same. You have the light purple to the left on all of them but some had the medium purple on the outside while others have the dark purple on the outside.
Yes, yes! Show us the purple cane! There are so many of your tiny canes that look great-I’d love to learn how to make many of them and create a stash of my own!
Will do, Jennifer!😊❤️
I prefer the ones with more black. The others are far too busy and Vegas (overstimulation with colour and pattern and flash) for me. Thanks for sharing.
And the black negative space adds DRAMA !
7:31 - that looks like a Star of David. I would love to see this done in Israeli colors!!
Very nice!! Thank you, Donna! Any chance you might share the specs on your cane storage container?
Coworker uses a product called Nail Teck for split nails. I 😢 So glad you shared I was worried about your Bobo But never once thought of the possibility that you could have cut yourself, which
You didn't, thought you were the victim of evil housework or DIY project 🎉❤
Hi Donna, what is the name of the stainless tool that looks like a shovel? That’s a find! Thanks for the video, I swear I have seen that before.
Love this project! So much fun. Love the purple traingle cane...could you show us how to make that please? Also, what type of crystals are you using? Are they glass or plastic? Thak you so much.
You know, I did shoot that cane! In yellow and in greys. Two ways! The crystals are glass and I think made for nail art. ❤️😊
@@DonnaKatoArt oh thank you! I will look for those tutorials.
Please show us purple triangle cane
I love this tutorial and I’m so glad to be a member! Where did you get the container for your canes?
Hi Michelle, the box is for bullets so a sporting goods store or you can google plastic shell boxes (or something!). They’re good for storing tiny canes! 😊❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt Thank you so much. I would’ve never guessed that was what it was. I appreciate you immensely.
That one wee triangle is giving me anxiety 😅
Mandala ring
Donna, can you leave links to tools you used in the video like the domed products.
WOW! Super nice Donna. Do you EVER sleep? LOL 😊
Cofffeeee!!!😊❤️
@@DonnaKatoArt ahhh, yes! The instant energy. I eat way too much chocolate for my dose of caffeine 🙃🤣🙃
I left a comment on this last night but it’s not showing up - hmm anyway I love this idea for an on the go project!! Brilliant!
I see a wall piece, Nancy. I really do! Hugs, D😊❤️
Wow wish I’d knew this was up during pt it kicked my booty today I’m wore out n got other stress issues going on I sure need prayer 🙏 for me my niece my sister n a family of a man that was harmed by a careless tug that my niece was apparently seeing and hiding it from her family along with a only fans page she has her self in a hot mess I helped raise her I’m so upset broken angry there no reason for any of it much less why would a child that has everything do such a careless behavior and then defend the perpetrators actions I don’t understand she throwing her life away !! This is my sister that just had a baby and just had cancer last yr the one that is paralyzed on the left side of her throat. She is scared for her oldest bc there been death threats against my niece and also my sister whole family bc she lives there or was I believe my sister made her leave. If this don’t wake her up y’all she just turned 18 . I know this should not be on her but I have no one to talk to about it and I’m tore up please I beg pray 🙏 tyia
Dear Sharon, i’m so sorry you’re family is in such turmoil! Sounds really hard and stressful. She’s so young, too young. I blame reality tv and social media, my friend. I hope your sister is alright, too. I hope things smooth out, life is just so hard, sometimes. Big hugs❤️😔
I have two sons. 21 and 24. Both very good boys. But I can tell you that I know from raising two young men, no matter how well you bring them up, and try to teach them the straight and narrow, they ARE their own people. They will make mistakes of all sizes and the only thing we can do is be there for them, never judge, offer guidance, and hope they learn and grow from it. We all do dumb stuff when we're young. The good news is, we grow up and if we're lucky, we survive our crazy youth... Clay and hobbies are GREAT therapy as you work through it all. Just remember, this too shall pass. Best wishes! :)
