Simple Starry Night Leaf Pin - A Polymer Clay Jewelry Tutorial

Let's use the Starry Night canes! In this first class, we'll use them to make a simple leaf shaped pin.
In coming weeks, I will post increasingly complex tutorials using these canes.
Cheers, Donna

Hi Donna. As always stoning pieces!! Thank you!! 🇵🇹😊

[@BlackOnyxCat]

Thoroughly enjoyed this❣️ I now have “Starry Night” canes in all kinds of colors to play with, it is so fun making them!!! I also pulled out my Kato Clay that I left in a container for over 5 years. I’m amazed at how quickly it returns to working condition after all this time!! I, too, am learning so much from your videos. The beautiful, completed look of your pieces is something I am striving for. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us, it is a sweet gift 🙏

Gracias!

[@debbienix5790]

Donna we don’t care about your nails! We care about you and your art!

[@tatochip]

Nice nails, Donna! 😂 I was curious if you are using a Blackout mix for your black or real black clay. Thank you for these tutorials!

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Doreen! I think this was Kato black but it could have been Blackout!

[@Kementiri]

I am curious as to why you bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes when the suggested is at 275 for 40 minutes? I can assume that baking at a higher temp means less time but I could be mistaken.

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Here are the recommendations for Kato Polyclay: Strength and durability are very important properties in any polymer clay product. The amount of time and effort put into your project makes it very valuable; and when a piece breaks it can be very disappointing. Stronger than other clays, objects made with Kato Polyclay become permanent works of art that will resist breaking and wear over time. The recommended curing temperature for Kato Polyclay is between 275F (135C) and 300F (150C) for 10-30 minutes.
Cheers!

Hi

[@patriciaabell9393]

Do you think you could add a hairy catapillar next time?

[@DonnaKatoArt]

That’d be so cute! Let me work on that! Hugs, D❤️

[@hichaarrigorriaga1305]

Buenos días, necesito saber, los tiempos de cocción de las piezas de arcilla por favor ❤❤❤gracias

Hello, I am so sorry, I don't understand Spanish. I wish I did...Hugs, D!

[@chrisy9438]

Could you please tell me what type of electric pasta machine that is ?

[@DonnaKatoArt]

Hi Chrisy, It’s an Atlas motor. I have had others, though, and they worked out fine, too.
