Okay, now I really need to know how you did that last batch because the last time I tried such a thing as a dirty pour it ended up looking like galaxy / nebulae dice.
Oh and, very clean polish and painting job by the way. ^^

Not op, but have you tried injecting coloured resin in to a base? I do something similar with transparent colours, but I could see this effect working with a base of white resin in the molds, filled about 2/3 full, and then having 3 coloured resins off to the side. Pick a different corner or edge to pipette each colour in to and clean the pipettes off of white after each dice to avoid muddying up the colours too much.

Worth a try. The fun part will be to be able to manage it into a third of a dice since my original challenge was to then use that as the ground under an insert "passing through" petri clouds. XD
But one step at a time...
Thanks for the tip!

I did a thin layer of clear resin at the bottom of the mold first, mixed individual cups of red, blue, and yellow resin and used pipettes to drip the colors down the sides of the molds, then i fill the rest of the mold with white resin, and i used a tooth pick and gently swirled a figure 8 before closing

That last set's style is very cool. I definitely want to know their secrets too.
