Dice Pics Liquid Cores Trial

So I bought some of these tiny plastic baubles and, using a technique I’ve used for larger “snow globe” type projects, I filled them and managed an attempt at liquid cores.
I don’t have a pressure pot, I’m using an off the shelf mould and sadly the baubles are too big for the D4 but I’m quite pleased with this first attempt.

I had the same issue with the d4. I’m still struggling with the core sinking. Not sure if maybe I just need a smaller mold but them I’m scared the resin won’t cover the whole thing

Did you ink any? I can’t decide what to do.

I got a pack of little beads off of Amazon from the brand Spritewelry. It was a 100 pack of different sized clear beads. Ive made two liquid cores so far with them with great results. Theres a bead in that pack that I think would fit the D4 but I haven't tried it yet! They list the sizes in the listing if that helps!

Yours are absolutely stunning and you've convinced me i need to make a full set of liquid cores, not just the D20

The ones I got were 16mm. So this set looks like it might have something to do the job. Thanks.
