I feel like crap, so playing with resin. Attempt one at the fluid die. It wasn’t sealed well, so it leaked while stuffing it into the die mold. We’ll see what happens with a smaller sphere. And a different color powder. This one didn’t flow well. #dice #handmadedice #resindice #resincrafts #dicemaking #resin #uvresin #uvresincrafts #uvresindice #flowdice #liquidcenterdice https://www.instagram.com/p/B7CXseThlUn/?igshid=12rksu7vt9n4i

October 30, 2020: DIY White Flow D20 I'm liking how this came out. It's too soft to sand and polish straight out of the mold. I don't know if I'll do a video on that or not. I don't know if it's really needed (the video I mean, of course the die needs to be polished on the "1" side). I think it looks pretty great as is right now. But we'll see! I really like the Dr Crafty resin when it isn't in something really big. It isn't as clear as I was hoping, but you can't tell that with the small amount that covers the glass sphere. And I love that the glass sphere fits so well in this die! I can't wait to use all of them for so many different things! I just got a huge bag of them from Amazon! So there will be flow dice, and shaker dice, and I'll coat the sphere in holo glitter or chrome powder so it looks cool inside the die! (i did a holo glitter one once, a while ago, and I loved it, but I only had a few sphere to test with). There's just so much you can do. I hope that the spheres fit in the new molds I get next year from that Kickstarter I backed. I can't wait to see those molds! :) At some point I'll have to see if alcohol will bleach the mica powders. I know too bright UV light will. Obviously, it doesn't matter when white is used, but what happens to black or other colors? Guess we'll see! #flowdice #liquidcenterdice #liquiddice #flowingcenterdice #resincrafts #resin #uvresincrafts #uvresin #crafts #thingsinresin #dice #handmadedice #siliconemolds #dicemolds https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-tvXJH8PJ/?igshid=qtxnas8rvojb

October 28, 2020: D20 Flow Dice Test I’m really excited at how these came out! I use regular two part epoxy for these, and I think they came out really nicely. I also used a glow powder for the darker green all by itself, and while it was ok, it doesn’t work. You can see how the powder is still just a lump even at the end of the video. While the lighter green is a mix of glow powder and mica powder. That works pretty well. I think the move helps break up the glow. They came out very nicely, I’m pretty pleased. #flowdice #liquidcenterdice #liquiddice #flowingcenterdice #dice #handmadedice #dice #handmadedice #resindice #resincrafts #dicemaking #resin https://www.instagram.com/p/CG4fKTyBn-4/?igshid=sjg9o7d1er66

October 24, 2020: Making Dice Cap Molds I really like this style of mold. Cap molds with a reservoir. It works really well, when it works. The first ones I made used a much softer silicone. Much much softer. But I thought it was going to be too soft. So I got a harder silicone this time. Way too hard for my poor fingers. And my bf had a hard time, too! So next time I'll go for something in between the two. We'll see, I guess. I'm also looking at buying some molds. They are on Kickstarter as of writing this, and will be done soon. But don't you worry! I will post videos and photos of me using them! Royal Dice Molds System from https://kingsfell.com/ But they won't be ready for months and months, and I need dice sooner than that. I have orders waiting already! XD So, I'm going to try resin in the plain D20, because that's the most important right now. UV first, because that's what I like. Then two part epoxy resin later if the UV works and I can get it out. :) We'll see! wish me luck! #flowdice #liquidcenterdice #liquiddice #flowingcenterdice #resincrafts #resin #uvresincrafts #uvresin #crafts #thingsinresin #dice #handmadedice #dice #handmadedice #resindice #resincrafts #dicemaking #resin https://www.instagram.com/p/CGuMMVahGh_/?igshid=1v0xjelfy8luf

September 14, 2020: Using a Tiny Pottery Wheel to Sand Dice Well... This is a thing. I think I should have taken a closer look at the raised surface on that "1" side. It may have needed sanding from the surrounding faces, not on that face itself. That's what happened with the first set of molds I got. The ones with the really shallow numbers. We'll see. The "1" here is gone. Never to return. Good for a test run, though. With UV resin. But look how shiny it is! It really did polish up very nicely. I think that this cheap, little, pottery wheel is going to work very well. I just have to remember that I don't need a lot of pressure. It could sand down too quickly, and too much pressure stops the wheel completely. Honestly, I don't understand how it's supposed to work as a pottery wheel when the motor is so weak. But still, it'll work for my purposes! I was unhappy that I had to shine every single side on the die. They were not smooth and shiny straight out of the molds. Another reason to make my own, then I have only myself to blame! Though, I probably did something to make it not smooth when messing with filling it. I do know there are *a lot* of bubbles in there. The other thing I have to work out is how to keep it from flinging water and wet resin dust everywhere. Seriously, how does this not fling clay all over the place when used as an actual pottery wheel? The robe I was wearing when I did this had a line water across the front! XD I guess we'll see. I can't get the wheel off again. When it shipped it had a teeny tiny wheel on it. And I took it off and put this, slightly bigger, one on. But it's stuck now, and won't budge. Which, I guess, is good because it won't slip while spinning. My bf suggested maybe a small pie tin might work. We'll see, they are cheap! It's all part of the learning process. #uvresin #uvresincrafts #uvresindice #flowdice #liquidcenterdice #resincrafts #resin #uvresincrafts #uvresin #crafts #thingsinresin #dice #handmadedice #resindice #resincrafts #dicemaking #resin https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHKp1zhl94/?igshid=15e688vatvugi
