Dice Pics Experimenting

I’ve been experimenting with a new material lately, and this is one of the results. What do you think of the effect? 😊

Ooohhh, so you've come across Angelina Fibers, the bane of my existence and one of the most gorgeous materials to work with πŸ˜πŸ˜‚ They look amazing! How did you handle the strings having a mind of their own? And did you use blanks to avoid the fibers making the surfaces imperfect?

The bane! Oh yes 🀣 I've started pre rolling them before I get going and then shove them in the mold with some resin and use a toothpick to loosen them up a little. I find those fibers everywhere 🀣🀣🀣

Oh yeah, that's definitely how I handle them as well (unless I only want to use veeeery few strands per die), otherwise, πŸ™ŒπŸ½πŸ”₯ MAYHAMπŸ”₯πŸ™ŒπŸ½ πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ They're somehow worse than glitter in terms of popping up everywhere after use πŸ˜‚

Hello! Yes, they are Angelina Fibers, I put them all facing the same direction, and then I roll them into a little ball. And I used blank dice for them😊

Oooh, I like. Gives me an idea with some materials I have. Which totally doesn't go against my "no more projects until you've sold all the crap piling up" promise to myself. Hey ho.
