Are they divine or arcane castings?

See if you can make one weighted to make a 20 a lucky die!

Very cool. I've wanted to do this myself. Did you use a vacuum chamber to eliminate bubbles or just pour & pray ?

Honestly I just hoped and prayed to the gods the bubbles wouldnt be too bad (that and I poured slow with pipettes)

Where do you get the molds?

looks like they self made them, you can see the "mold" for making the molds in the back ground of the first photo

Step two, draw the rest of the owl - tbh I have no idea how :D is the red thing a form for the whole thing or just tiny parts?

Thank you! And yep! I’m making a full set of standard and miniature dice along side a new jumbo d20!

I plan on attempting my first set hopefully this summer... have to finish a basement remodel first! Anything odd I should look out for?

Nice job. How balanced are they?

Pretty decent since I very lightly sand, but I definitely have some improvement to work on. Any way I can better balance them in the future?

do your best to remove any bubbles you can, one easy way of doing this is switching from a wooden stick to a silicon mixing item
