So I don't really have a job anymore. I'm so tired lately, and I've been just going back and forth from the game store getting materials for more dice stuff. Some of you might know, I've been working on dice jewelry. It's not simple to make, but it's something I like to do, to keep me occupied.

While I was still in the States, I managed to purchase a little hobby drill, a Dremel tool. It's a great little rotary tool, with attachments for you to sand, buff, drill stuff, or even screw stuff at varying speeds. I got myself a cordless, battery-powered hand tool with a 1/32" collet and bit. However, due to my oversight, the charger for the cordless model I had was badly damaged and rendered unusable.

Karl however, sent me another drill AND a voltage converter. How sweet! So I was back to drilling dice again. And now that I had a new(er) camera, I could take better (hopefully) pictures of them.

I don't incorporate beads, as the colors of the dice are already bright and each die is unique, so attention shouldn't be distracted from them.

With standard size dice, I can make both earrings and pendants, and even mobile phone charms. If you desire to have some, please let me know which kind of die (d4, d6, d8, d10, d10 percentile, d12, d20) you would like and what color you prefer. I will then set out to try and find and purchase said dice and hope you like the color. Earrings are $15 a pair (lots of work go into it, believe me, and are pricey with TWO dice instead of a single die) and are attached to non-precious metal ear hooks. If you would like .925 silver hooks, that would be an additional charge of $1. Necklaces are currently $12. Cellphone charms are currently $6. All prices are in Singapore Dollars and does not include S&H.

My current set of mini-dice comes in a set of 7 (d4, d6, d8, d10, d10 percentile, d12, d20, typical dice set) and under no circumstances will I split the set. The whole set goes for $17, and are a beautiful pearlised navy color with gold numbers. Mini-dice are attached to .925 silver ear hooks.

The jewelry may look large at roughly 16mm, but honestly, when they dangle off your earlobe, it's actually not heavy at all, and look quite stunning. I highly recommend the range of Borealis, or the Aqua Cirrus. The mini ones are much smaller, at about 10 - 12mm.

Here are some pictures for your perusal. The rest of the pictures are on my DeviantArt page. :)
