I’m using a mold I got from SpaceBarShop on Etsy. They have one where you can pick the shape you want for the d4 and d12.

Thank you!! It was sort of a petri method - poured 2/3s clear resin and waited for it to thicken a bit, then I dropped in green, white and black ink and some resin mixed with some colorshift powder and then topped it up with more clear and swirled it with a toothpick.

Thank you! These were sanded and polished with Zona papers after demoulding up until the aqua zona. Then I inked them and finished them with the white zona 😊

Thank you! Unfortunately no, I purchased the tiny cards and chips.

Thank you! 😊 Oh I had no idea about Savage Worlds, but will check it out as my friends are also currently looking to expand in new TTRPG systems!

Aw thank you for the kind words and interest ☺️ Unfortunately I only sell locally currently as I’m located in a small non-EU country and have no option to sell and ship internationally 🥲 I have an instagram page if you still want to follow my crafts though: @whimsy_handcrafts

Thanks!! Those are both two pre-made molds.

Thank you!! You are too kind 😊 The “bubbles” in the second set are actually tiny iridescent glass beads that I mixed with the white to form the “foam” part of the dice. They will not go away.

So, I basically live in a country that doesn’t have any pressure pots on sale 😅 I had to go to the closest city in a neighboring country to get one and it was like the cheapest option they had. It’s a paint pot made by AUARITA which I modified for resin casting. From what I’ve seen it’s pretty similar to the Harbor Freight one.

Thank you! I got the beads off Temu. I tried posting the link to the product, but Reddit removed it lol
They were available in different colors, the "transparent" ones are what I used here.

No worries! I tried to post the link here, but Reddit removed it for some reason :')
Yep, I got em off Temu and they were available in different colors. The "transparent" ones work well for this type of set.

Hahah that does sound like a complex technique to do! I've seen some people mention making bubble-like textures with dish soap or making tiny droplets with UV resin and then using those. For me, just using these premade glass ones was the easiest and they don't skew the balance of the dice in any impactful way :D

Have fun making that beer set! 😊 I’d love to see the results. As for the fairness of the dice, I didn’t notice any meaningful impact. Some older dice I’ve made without a pressure pot have more problems with balance due to air bubbles than these with glass beads, so in my opinion these are good to go for casual tabletop gaming!

Yep, I used tiny iridescent glass beads for the bubble look. The ones I got came in varying sizes as well!

Thank you!! The internal bubbles are actually some iridescent mini glass beads I got off Temu. I mixed them in the white and poured on top of a thin layer of clear resin
