It’s a crime that this video doesn’t have tens of thousands of views. I’ve watched a ton of dice videos, seen a ton of custom dice on Reddit and Instagram etc, and this is truly one of the most gorgeous sets of dice I have ever seen. And your video itself was solid too. Lighting was never awful, audio was awesome which is my first complaint on so many smaller KZbin channels. All that to say, easiest subscribe button I’ve pressed in a long time, I’m recommending you to my friends, and I wish you amazing luck.

[@wesleighbryant8112]

1000% agree! I've been looking all over youtube and instagram for something like this and your video is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Your dice came out so amazingly beautiful and I'm so excited to see how mine turns out based off of your tutorial :') thank you!!

[@83dante60]

I did them, it was my first set of dice, the result is not as pretty as you, but I'm happy with the result. It encourages me to do it even more. Thank you !

[@GreyMatterShades]

Those dice really convey the theme well. Awesome job! 👍

[@TheHalfBrit.Casual]

This is now on the list for one of my dream dice sets, so pretty!

[@jordannels6014]

So glad you’re back!

[@G3N3515DM]

happy you are back at it! ive needed new inspiration and your channel is great for that!!!!!

[@thenightshadehollow]

Oh I love when you upload! Welcome back!

[@teddiandersson6744]

You inspire me so much! I haven't been able to get in to the hobby yet, but I really wanna try your methods!

[@stinafelix]

beautiful! these are great you did a fantastic job!!!

[@Thewrittenwordremain]

Welcome back!

[@grey_b7319]

The set looks so gorgeous! I feel like it would fit really well with water-themed (like merfolk or water genasi) barbarian, rogue or war cleric. Loved it!

[@yolandiehamilton1607]

Glad you're back! Totally unrelated using coffee swizzlers has changed my life. I'll never go back.

[@jamescarpenter8933]

Welcome back! I'm just getting into dice making and your videos are so helpful; thank you for taking the time to make them and for sharing your knowledge!

[@ironbomb6753]

Me too. I just poured my first dice. I have lots to learn.

[@stalinofl8227]

YES I JUST STARTED WATCHING YOU GREAT TIMING

[@RESGorilla]

Happy to see ya back again!

[@dreamy_dice]

Thank you so much, happy to be back!!

[@user-ic5qs6qh8l]

I would love to see how this particular mold is made 😊 I absolutely LOVE your work, thank you for showing us your art. 🙏

[@garrettj416]

She has a video on it, very well explained as well.

[@kitsunegem]

Loved watching this it was really insightful I'm trying to make this set myself but can't get the red to settle on the stick right so that I can swirl it

[@nofillet4148]

It's great to see you upload again, though it would be lovely if you could also uploud your tik toks on here as shorts

[@amberlindsey7112]

These are awesome

[@Altnod]

They look awsome I thing the white is a good touch.

[@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669]

Welcome back. You were missed even though I follow your insta and tiktok lol

[@serenaferrari7651]

I was so waiting for your vids! Thank you so much! I also follow you on Instagram and your dice are lovely 🥰 I hope one day I'll be half as good as you 😊 have you considered doing a vid on how you sand, polish and finish your dice given the particular type of mold? I'd love it since I'm trying to do that.

[@dreamy_dice]

Thank you so much!! A sanding/polishing video is definitely on the docket, hoping to film it this month!

[@ajhearn4535]

Cool stuff. I might try out some of your stuff. Do they come out done or do you need to sand and polish them after de-molding them? Also I know a pressure pot is ideal but can they be done reasonably well without at least at first?

[@krasnoludzkierpg8253]

Awesome! Show how you making dice with liquide core :)

[@arkonos4406]

Great video :D

[@SabrinaCherise]

1000th like!

[@randocalrissian347]

Can you recommend good dice molds? My son plays D&D and want to make him some.

[@dfixleyful]

Love your videos, they have helped me greatly. If I may ask, what type of silicone do you use for your molds? They seem to hold up really well.

[@dreamy_dice]

Thank you!! I use Dragon Skin 10 Medium for the base of my molds and Dragon Skin 20 for the caps. I find my hands are too weak for shore 20 molds, so DS 10 Medium has been my long-time favorite

[@dfixleyful]

Thanks I've been using Dragonskin 10NV for caps and molds and sometimes it is a bit picky but with the registrations using the 20 for the caps is smart.

[@jonmann6486]

what kind of resin are you using. I am trying to get into the hobby and I used walmarts resin. How do you get less bubbles?

[@allannamcbrayer1848]

If you are, what platform are you selling your creations on? My Dad saw these and I had to search our watch history to find these and he fell in love with them. He's a DM and would love a custom set ❤

[@evanpennock1301]

I'm having lots of trouble getting the resin to come out of my pipette on dice like this and cloud dice. I feel like I'm squeezing really hard, but then I just end up with little dabs of my opaque resin. Do you have any tips?

[@francescamengozzi6209]

Hi! I’m looking forward a mold like that. Where did you find it?

[@dreamy_dice]

I make my own molds :)

[@TheRaven8400]

This is an outstanding technique and effect. However, you have left me wondering what color you painted the numbers?! 🤔

[@dreamy_dice]

Thank you! I ended up going with a cobalt blue for the numbers ☺️

[@johannahyll]

Hi! May I ask what alcohol ink you use for the red? 👀 I’ve tried a version of the technique for the red but mine disperse a lot more so it doesn’t get that swirl/blood effect ://

[@dreamy_dice]

The red is Pixiss “Mum” color ☺️

[@Kouin]

I've been trying to replicate your cloud technique for a while now and always my white resin just floats to the top. I'm using the same ink but do you think this would be not enough or too much? I can never get a swirl it just all drifts to the top 😢

[@jordannels6014]

If the white is drifting to the top rather than sinking to the bottom, that’s very strange. The blanco blanco white ink isn’t supposed to drift at all, because it’s denser than the resin. The issue could be the resin that you’re using rather than the ink.

[@dreamy_dice]

Ohhh interesting! I can think of three things that might have an effect: 1. It could be your resin reacting poorly to Blanco Blanco 2. You could be using too little, white ink is heavy so if you’re using too much it will sink 3. You may try squeezing harder on your pipette, sometimes it can feel like you’re squeezing but it’s not enough/hardly any resin is coming out
