Agate geodes are my favorite, the deep blue they can put off is outstanding

@allisoncampbell1631 2 года назад

I love Amethyst Geodes, Labradorite, Moonstone

@jay1987xxx 2 года назад

Ooooh I would definitely do some deep purple Amethyst like geodes! They would look great! I do love purple!

Only thing I'm capable of saying right now... I'M BLOWN AWAY! I'm going to make me a set of these! Thanks for the tutorial!

@lilmissdeathprincess 2 года назад

These are so pretty 😍 my favorite is amethyst.

@tiffanymeagher7727 2 года назад

I've actually been doing this by building up layers of UV in a blank mold instead of drilling it out, and it's one of my favorite kinds to make too

@DruidDice 2 года назад

That is a smart alternative!

@ghostgatsby9004 2 года назад

Oh man this is amazing. I’d definitely make some fluorite dice! Fluorite is my family stone :)

Holy shit dude! 🤯 Now I want to do it! Phenomenal job👊🏻

@sarahclover7549 2 года назад

Oh man, I'm learning things from your videos that I definitely won't take for... granite. :D In all seriousness though, these are freaking beautiful. I love the color purple and amethyst is my birth stone, so I'm all about these! I found these cool looking geodes online that are teal crystal with gold and white through the outer edges. I feel like something like that could make for some really neat geode dice. I'd just have to make sure I use additives that compliment them rather than take away - this is definitely something I'll need more practice at.

These dice totally rock! I hope you are only breaking the crust of what you can do with dice!... Okay I'll see myself out now But I love these, The glow is so nice and the flakes are prefect.

@lambchop6881 2 года назад

Black opals are my favorite! I know they're not the fanciest looking things out there, but the amount of depth that they can have and the way those colors flash through is just magical.

@juat.neko8976 2 года назад

These are beautiful dice! I've been wanting to get into dice making and these wild bee awesome to try out. I would definitely enjoy making some of these, blue or red, since those are my favorite colors!

@Biz999 Год назад

Your enthusiasm for these dice is contagious :) great job.

@lunaeclipse7588 2 года назад

I'm new to the resin world, I've been crafting for a little over 2 months and making dice is the 1st project that's on my ever growing project list. These dice would be awesome to make! I would theme sets after characters from shows and the elements because there's soo much inspiration and the results would be amazing!

@morganmaven2861 Год назад

Those dice are amazingly gorgeous! I think if I tried it I would maybe do some type of opal dice cuz theres so many colors and different types of opals you could do from black to fire to standard opals. But this idea is so creative and amazing! I'm so glad you did it!

@michaeltroll8429 4 месяца назад

i wish someone made a kit to do this it would be fun to do

@whalemanification 2 года назад

I think if I could pull off a lapis and gold geode it would look super pretty if done well

@fishhasopinions1104 2 года назад

Oh wow! These are fantastic! Absolutely gorgeous. My son collects geodes, I'll have to show him these, he'd love geode dice. :)

@DruidDice 2 года назад

Thank you!

@tromkehra Год назад

Ooooh, see how you did that with the geodes. It would make so much more sense with making the blanks with an epoxy first and then fine details can be added with the uv.

@authorcamilla1205 2 года назад

I'm a sucker for the night sky! I'd make some starry geodes!

@KaitlynMAnime4ever 2 года назад

The dice sets look fantastic! I love seeing the PPE talked about. I feel like it's often looked over in the resin community.

@KhloeBunbun 2 года назад

Totally amazing! this would be an awesome mold to have, and congratulations to the winner of it. Now ill see myself to the shop.

@lovelymissmegs 2 года назад

These turned out amazing! I love the purple set, I would totally make an amethyst set for myself!

@Sarisb 2 года назад

Oh my goodness these are ridiculously pretty; thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise with us! I'd love to make them in every single color possible honestly

@emilywetzel7941 2 года назад

Oh I am so excited that I came across your videos! I live close to where your shop is so I will be in for sure! I have learned so much (I’ve gone through and watched nearly all of you videos) and think this will help my dove making hobby that is in its infancy 😂 thank you for these videos!

@batzy206 2 года назад

100% coolest dice I’ve seen so far! I just started making dice the other day but I want to make my own amethyst geode dice one day!

@tsukino88 2 года назад

I’d try to make geode like fire opals because the range of colors is gorgeous. Also alexandrite when it shifts from pink to green would be cool too

@jessicamcdowell1374 2 года назад

Those are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing. My favorite geodes are purple and white. I assume they are amethysts.

@RisingShade 2 года назад

Those are some sweet looking dice! You definitely need to name them the Mick Jagger Line, because they're... *puts on sunglasses* Rolling Stones. I'd love to see some lazurite dice with gold numbering

@RazuYazu 2 года назад

This is so cool! I just got new dice molds, so I kind of want to give these a try. And your YT channel's growing quite nicely! Hope to see you hit 1k soon. You deserve it.

I just found your videos today and I’m absolutely loving them, I’ve been having the hardest time with Petri dish dice and your video on it has helped me so much, I also really love your energy and editing, great job and I can’t wait to see more, also also, if you ever want to do a done trade I’d love to do that with you, I run a shop called hewys dice if you want to check it out

@monicarubits2261 2 года назад

Man the glow powder just elevates those to the next level! *chef's kiss* Now, the paintbrush you used to put the sparklies in, that thing is toast, right? No chance in reusing it?

@YourBuddyDinec 2 года назад

Great video bro. Was always wanting to try something like this. You seem to make videos for things as soon as I get interested in them. Nice! 😁Also a can of compressed air may not be a bad idea to get the dust out of the blank so you can see it better too. Also wonder if adding little tiny clear and colored craft rocks could add a real look to it? Personally I've always liked the amethyst geode since my favorite color is purple!

@DruidDice 2 года назад

I did add nano sparkle to the clear to add a bit more flair!

@pizzafridayontuesday8063 2 года назад

Oooo amethyst purple 💜

@TheLoopyTiger 2 года назад

Those are so beautiful. I’ve been meaning to make some myself for a while with some multi chrome pigment, but my backlog of ideas is longer than the time I have available for dice making. With the carved out blanks though, I could see it being a bit trickier to try to make sure air bubbles weren’t trapped inside when castling the shells, particularly if you wanted the higher number face to be the pretty one the the inside of the geode visible.

@DruidDice 2 года назад

I added a little resin to the inside of the blank before inserting to make sure air didn't get trapped.

@julichelleortiz2442 2 года назад

I love watching your videos and I love your dice.... But I ordered a mold that never arrived.... I sent an email to support and no one ever replied.

@cassiethewuks9885 2 года назад

I think it's necessary to do an amethyst set, but to be honest I really love the look of agates!! great video

@mistyfromglittergothdice 2 года назад

Awesome and informative video. Now I have another style of dice to add to my ever growing list of complicated styles to try. I wonder if using crushed craft glass instead of (or even in addition to) mylar would give a more realistic 3d effect or if that effect would just get lost in the second casting🤔

@DruidDice 2 года назад

Go for it! I have made dice with mirrored stained window glass and it looked so good! this is a GREAT idea to add more realism!

@tromkehra Год назад

Do the molds work with uv resin? Like making really thin layers and putting the mold into a uv chamber. I just got my geode inserts and I wanna make alabone pearl style inserts. I have an idea of how I want to do it, but I think for the most control it would have to be with uv resin.

@maiadraconica6488 Год назад

The dice you were painting in the video arnt the same ones as the sidecast at the end right? What different colours were you using there?

@Gandharvah 2 года назад

These look amazing! definitely worth the work. I would have liked to see what the pink ones looked like though, since it looked like you made two batches? or are they the same and I was just completely fooled by the effect? If I could make some like these, I would try an emerald set! I think they'd look amazing (although I don't think they actually exist as a geode). Thanks for the video!

@DruidDice 2 года назад

They were different! Wanted to showcase the process vs completed set. They did come out beautiful though!

@josephgarner94 Год назад

Do you sell geode dice in your shop?

@Chupaloop14 2 года назад

Are your dice a more standard size or the larger style? And when you use your blanks, what is the size difference between the blank and the original mold. Definitely want to experiment with all these technics but haven’t pulled the trigger on masters yet.

@DruidDice 2 года назад

Our dice are about 5-10% bigger then chessex due to being sharp edge. The blanks are just shy of 10% undersized to fit just snug with a bit of wiggle for the numbers to not get smooshed!

@Chupaloop14 2 года назад

Awesome! Thanks for the info

@Aaron-Gerzzog-Berger 2 года назад

Do you have to do this method with blanks? Could you just grind down a regular die and put it back in its mold and fill the space with resin?

@DruidDice 2 года назад

You definitely can. You could run into the issues of overcasting where the excess resin will squeeze around the numbers. And so you'll get a little bit of ghosting. But if you're casting just clear to seal in the geode portion, I don't think it would be too big of an issue. The only other downside I could see is the struggle bus to get the dice back into the mold without scraping the dice faces since there's no wiggle room.
