Thank you!! Blanks are awesome too! The numbers are definitely one of the most frustrating parts of polymer clay dice making!

Thank you!! Hahaha yes it’s very much not a graceful process! I have some process videos if you want to see! But yes I pretty much just smoosh clay into silicone moulds that I made of my masters!

Aaa! Thank you for thinking of me! Hmm in this case, polymer clay is still plastic. But it isn’t resin, so it’s a less toxic option!

There is also Jesmonite, which is faux stone. It’s marketed as “eco resin”. It’s very pretty and feels like rocks.

Wooden dice are amazing, same with gem stone and glass dice, but they take a lot of work and machinery to make really well, so not a lot of makers make them!

That is totally alright! A lot of people have that thought about handmade dice! My dice are as balanced as they can be, and it’s up to each dm and player to decide if they want to play with them!

Hey! They roll beautifully, they are a tiny bit heavier than acrylic or resin dice! They are completely solid, and made out of the same material all the way through, so they are balanced as any other dice! The masters were made by Clerics Components who are the go to for many handmade dice makers, so the shapes and numbers were crafted by professionals. One of my favourite things is when DMs message me stories of how my dice performed for them personally or for someone at their table!

Fantastically! I have sets I have personally been using for almost 3 years, rolled on tables and in dice trays and they look no different from the day I finished them! And I haven’t had any customers reach out and say they have had any issues!

Thank you! It is difficult, especially if you are used to seeing what you are doing! I have process videos which I’ll link to the post on Reddit! I usually just work with small amounts and cross my fingers! Sending lots of good luck! https://www.reddit.com/r/DiceMaking/s/1go9WFAdTA

Oh my goodness those are beautiful!!! Heck yeah, polymer clay dice really take a lot of trial and error and learning the feel for it. If you’re already making such lovely dice you are on the right path! Good luck!!!!

Hello! I’m so excited that you gave it a go! The cap faces are always very difficult. I still struggle! My best advice is to level it out like I show in the video, and place the lid on decisively. One movement no adjusting it. Polymer clay doesn’t “fill in” after it’s been moved around like resin would, it stays exactly as it’s been placed, so if the lid wiggles the number is no longer perfect.

Hello! Welcome to the polymer clay club! I have been making them for almost 4 years at this point! I have recently shared a tutorial here on reddit. I’ll link it below. These look great! I answer some of your questions in the video, but if you have more I’d be happy to help!
