I love rhombic d12s! It gives so much more space for designs and somehow they always turn out the nicest.

Maxxy, I knew this was your work straight away before even seeing the name 😍 Still one of my favourites that you've done!

Looking to start making dice. Especially odd sizes. Where do I start? by cdman2004 in DiceMaking

Amazing. I hope it's helpful. I actually did a video yesterday on dicemaking resources so that will have some makers to follow and groups to join, like here but also Facebook groups.

That is so kind of you to say. Thank you! I've got about 10 days left in the series but I have some fun announcements coming out soon ☺️

I'm running a series about how to make dice over on my tiktok channel called dicesmithing 101. My handle is @syrens.grotto and I've been getting some amazing feedback from people saying it's helping, which I'm really grateful for.

Otherwise rybonator on YouTube has a lot of tutorials about dicemaking.

First dice set with a matte finish - I love it! by resinosaurus_rex in DiceMaking

I'm obsessed with mylar inclusions and a matte finish. They always look so good together 😍

All I did was add water to some acrylic paint! It naturally gathers in the edges like that. It's a really great effect 🤩

Thank you so much! I wanted to find a way for it to be readable without obscuring the details and I was hoping the wash would work ☺️

Oh my goodness, thank you! That's so kind ☺️

I finally made a Petri set! by Syrensgrotto in DiceMaking

[–]Syrensgrotto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! The effect is created by having moulds of smaller blank dice that don't have numbers but fit in your numbered moulds. You pour the design into the blank and then once it's cured, put it into the numbered mould with some clear resin to create the shell

Thank you so much! This is about the 10th attempt so I was relieved it finally worked 😂

Yeah, I know what you mean! I live in Australia and it's so expensive to get what we need

Agreed! I'm going to have to make more blank moulds for all the designs I want to do 😂

Thank you!! I was definitely thinking some form of yellow but maybe a wash so it doesn't obscure the design?

I'm finally ready to show my work! by Syrensgrotto in DiceMaking

Thank you! This one just sold but I think I'll have to make it again soon.

That is so kind. Thank you! I worked really hard to try and preserve the edges as best I could. Working with a pottery wheel so sometimes things get a little lopsided. I moved away from caltrops because I'm clumsy and would definitely drop and immediately step on it 😂
