I have long been inspired by images of fractal art online. In this video I make polymer clay canes, purely based on my love of these images, (but ones which are neither mathematically or scientifically correct in terms of creating a fractal 😉 ). This is a long video, broken down into sections, detailed below, so you can skip to whichever part interests you the most. I hope you enjoy it, and it inspires you to have a go at some of the cane ideas I suggest. So, sit back, relax, and watch as I create my own interpretation of fractal art in polymer clay canes.

You can buy the semi-sphere moulds in stores and on line, they are often found in cookware departments, and bath bomb moulds (not plastic ones) are often good to use too.
Sculpey have a hollow bead maker which is available from many outlets - Sculpey® Hollow Bead Maker | Sculpey.com .
If you cannot find or do not want to purchase these moulds, then you can use an old fashioned round topped spent lightbulb instead. Put a little scrap clay at the bottom to hold it upright and use the top of the spent lightbulb as your rounded mould. As an alternative, you can carefully cut off the bottom end of a used drinks can, and carefully masking the sharp, cut edges, use either the inside or the outside as a gently domed mould, (if there is printing on the bottom, sand it off first). Finally, if you have none of these, then a nice, rounded spoon can act as a good mould.
