Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
This is another set that was inspired by a friend's dnd character.
Materials
Molds by House of Molds
Pi帽ata alcohol ink I'm black
Ghost chameleon pigment from SolarColorDust
Process
After creating my Wells I mixed up a full amount of clear resin which I added a small amount of my chameleon pigments enough to create a shimmer but not obscure the translucency.
I then portioned out about 20ml of the resin had just mixed and added the black ink until I reached the desired opacity. And filled a syringe with as narrow a nib as I could use that wouldn't impede the flow of the resin.
From here I filled each mold with the shimmery clear resin but didn't allow the resin to flow into the wells that I had created. While simultaneously stiring and roatating the molds in my hand, i injected each with black resin to create the swirls and smokey effect. After I was pleased with the effect, I filled the wells/reservoirs with any of my left over resin and popped them all into the pressure pot to cure.
Final thoughts
I'm rather happy with how this set turned out. I would have rather thr wisps be more defined however I think the set turned out well!
I made these dice a few months ago and never shared them. I'm calling them my "Jenassa" dice named after my follower in Skyrim. I fashioned them after the armor she is currently wearing, a mix of Glass and Dwarven.
This is the the only screen shot I have that includes Jenassa 馃ぃ
Trying to get back in the dice making game. Juat bought some new molds and working the kinks out.. Last weekend I made what I am calling "Disco Dice." They're not as pretty as my Holo's but still kind of cool looking.
Here is a terrible photo of the "fire" dice I'm making my little sister for her 19th birthday (I hope they come out okay). She plays a Druid in our Tuesday DnD game that solely uses fire based spells. I thought a fire themed die would be perfect along side our new shirts that say "Denver, burn it!*
For this set I taped up my molds and created a resevoir with said tape and set those aside. Next I mixed up a clear resin which I divided up into 3 parts. One part I stirred in approximately 4 drops of black ink to create an opaque black, which i then set aside. With one of the remaining parts I stirres in approximately 4 drops of white ink and a small amount of the mica powder. Finally I left the remaining allotment of resin clear
From here I took a syringe and filled it with the black resin, and added a small amount, approximately 1-2ml to each mold. With an empty syringe i picked up the white resin and added white to each mold, enough to fill each about half way. I finished filling each mold with the remaining clear resin and popped the whole thing into the pressure pot to cure.
After they finished curing I demolded each die and carefully cliped away as much of the sprue and resevoir as i could. I then sanded the necessary faces using 1500 grit wetsanding paper and Zona polishing papers. I inked the numbers with pi帽ata alcohol inks in copper.
Thoughts
I am thoroughly happy with how this set turned out. Using this technique I was able to accomplish the look I had been aiming for.
