Dicember Day 23: Acid Arrow bead dice
Dec. 24th, 2022 03:41 amDicember Day 23
Acid Arrow Dice
(Obtained 2021 08, from Beholder's Gaze)
Ahh! Another example of Inclusion Done Right!
In this case, the most right thing they did was choosing an inclusion that wasn't any sort of twee little toy or figure. It's just a bead, just a big greenish yellow bead (you can even see the hole at certain angles) but because of the size and how well it fits the dice, it looks just *stunning*. The clear resin (or acrylic? Iunno) around it is perfect, moreso than would be something glittery or colourful, because it lets the colours of the bead take center stage.
Also the bead is round. It is well documented that I like round!
Beholder's Gaze is a British company, which means I need to be slightly more mindful than usual of shipping times and costs. But they're an excellent dice aggregate and they sometimes have quite good sales and quite interesting shinies!
Something I love about my collection is that there's...nothing special about this set. They're not wildly expensive (about $10), they don't have deep sentimental value, they're not homemade...and yet, they're beautiful and classy and I like to hold them and look at them and roll them and just...enjoy their existence! Dice are so great, yanno?
(Also I'm always a sucker for a good green, and these are a *great* green!)
