My hands were burned trying to pull someone from an explosion, you can see the scars (which I love)

The bronze is a mixture of Copper, Tin, Bismith and Antimony : https://www.reddit.com/u/Diftherya/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Anyone else instantly reminded of the Beast Planet from Shadow Raiders?

That looks pretty awesome. The dice have a nice look to them. Do you test for weighting or whatever for balanced dice?

I do a spin test, and am trying to source some mercury to float them as well

Have you ever thought of making solid bismuth ones? The color pattern would be mystical

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I have made them in bismuth, but for the colors to come up they need to be in crystal form and not casted …. I guess I can force the patina

As someone who loves d20 games, I'd also be interested if these are for sale.

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I would feel like a cheater if I sold something I didn’t design; I send them with the dice I make as a gift

I'm interested in the dice as well. I have a small collection and like unique dice.

Very nice work @op. I would suggest trimming your nails though. I noticed the nails before the scars.

After not being able to use my hands for half a year, not being able to scratch myself let alone wipe… I love my nails and what they can do

I'd wager it's closely related to the PTSD...
