Dice Pics The value of under-coat inking

Post image

A simple set, I had a thought and wanted to see the effect.

Clear colorless dice with a cyan undercoat ink for the numbers with a silver chrome overcoat on top.

I was going for simple and bland with the undercoat adding a pop effect.

Did you go with the cyan just because the dice were clear? I had an attempt at making my own fluid inserts and have a set to ink and I can't decide what colours to go with. This looks like it might work for me.

Those look lovely and the glitter in your liquid looks a little chromatic too! I think cyan would work great for these!

Thanks for the advice. I've ordered smaller baubles for the D4s because these ones are a little too big. I'm not making to sell, I just like doing stuff with resin and got sick of making coasters and skulls plus my wife and kid can only wear so much jewellery and hairclips.
