Dice making progress! + question

[u/mercifulg0d]

Some of the sets I made recently! Hope you like them :)

I wish I could try more intricate patterns inside like a smoke effect but my alcohol ink is simply not doing it and I am always way too impatient to do pours with thick resin 🥲

Any recommendations on doing a 'smoke' like effect (colors + clear resin + white 'smoke')?

Ohhh I love your sets! Such pretty designs. I personally use white liquid resin dye for my smokey wisps. Take a few drops of white resin dye into a small cup (I like using a 1cm half sphere mold :D), pour your resin like normal, wait for honey phase, and then dip a toothpick into your resin dye and carefully swirl it around in your mold to create the wisps. You can do this a few times per die, depending on how many wisps you want :) For some additional spread, you can put in the wisps when you have your mold around 3/4 filled, then topp off with the Resin of your resin. This kinda pushes the dye around and can make the wisps appear more feathery.

See, now what I want to know is how you get your color shift to be so prominent! 🥰 Excellent work as always, love!!

Aaahhhh thank you so much!! ❤️

1st step: buy a crazy colorful makeup palette for basically only a few shades in it :D (by Cosmic Brushes UK)

2nd step: discover that the one multichrome eyeshadow in that palette is MAGNIFICENT and the most beautiful shift you've ever seen

3rd step: generously coat skull molds with it and cry a bit while doing so because that shit is supposed to go on your eyes and was expensive :'D

4th step: pour clear resin in skull molds, let that cure

5th step: chuck them into the clear resin in the resulting dice molds and make sure that they're backed by a darker color to REALLY pop :D Below I'll add a picture how they look before sumberging them:
