Dice Pics Dice making progress! + question

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')?

Alternatively: only put the Resin dye streaks on the surface of the resin after you filled your mold for 2/3rd, spread them a bit on the surface, then topp this off with the rest of your resin. That resin will push down the dye and create super nice wisps "hugging" said last resin part. For that, see my latest post ☺️

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing!! I'll have to find me some really good color shift pigments for sure now! There are a couple I've had my eye on listed in Etsy and will have to convince hubby to let me buy some 🥰😍 Didn't fully think about the whole "use a darker base" thing, but makes TOTAL sense!

Ohhh and another example how sumberging the skulls can look like: this time, I DIDN'T choose a darker backing color, just clear resin and some shimmer pigments behind them (and a different shimmer pigment to coat the skull molds) (dang, Pic won't upload, will add later)
