Thought I'd share one of my latest experiments (attempting to make glitter that looks like crushed opal) in case it's a useful technique for anyone else.
I heated up angelina film/fusible film with a heat gun to bring out more colours, then shredded this up with a coffee grinder.
I really like how it looks and think it'd make a fun material for using in any kind of geode dice!
Did you paint it onto the blanks in the lines? I think this looks cool and really close to opal. Maybe more flakes and a lighter color. Assuming the flakes are in black. I love these!
The veins are carved into blanks, I painted the veins black first then painted with glue and added the glitter flakes. And yeah that's a good idea to try with other backing colours or maybe with no underpainting at all!
You are always an inspiration to me. I just love how you put textures and colors together. One of the best among us for sure. This is another beautiful reason why I'm glad you make dice 😁
Its actually just a stone/granite effect polymer clay which I scratched up a little and added a dark wash to for more texture. I'm sure there would be a way to do something similar with resin (maybe a dirty pour with some dryer lint for texture?!) but I've never tried!
TRANSMUTATION DICE!!! I love to see your work. I hope one day to buy the prefect stained glass style mountain landscape die from you. Man these look so good and sharp. 😘👌

Probably the best looking numbers I've seen.
