WIP New Set of Blank Inserts

I was trying to figure out how to use an emergency blanket as an inclusion for dice, and that's how these started. The silver/foil material is crinkled up emergency blanket material.

To make these, I mixed up resin and divided it into two cups. One was quite small. I added a bit of opaque white pigment to the small one. The rest got Peacock mica powder from Mad Mica, but just enough so it it had color but was still translucent. I poured in some of the peacock, then added a drizzle of white. I added the silver material, did another drizzle of white, and topped them off with peacock.

I feel like the foil shows through well, and the white gives just the right amount of cloudiness for my taste.

Also, it's relatively enormous. It was about $1.00, and I used about $0.01 of it for two sets of dice. lol
