I’ve made different spooky color schemes for my Starry D20 design to get in the Halloween mood. These are made of hand cast polyurethane resin (by @smoothon), and are designed with a numerically balanced number order.
These are available through my web shop at https://www.tiny-tokens.com

These beautiful pictures were sent to me by @twigg79. She photographed my d20 locket design with her brass d20 inside during a recent DnD campaign.
I hadn’t tried using the pendant with a metal #d20 before but I think the effect is great! If you like these type of pictures, please visit @twigg79‘s blog. She’s a freelance photographer with some awesome #DnD content.
These pendants are available through my shop at www.tiny-tokens.com and at https://www.shapeways.com/shops/tinytokens?section=Jewelry+-+Pendants&s=0

Some more pictures of my new design for a d20 dice pendant. The first version of this pendant was designed to fit a standard sized twenty sided dice as found in most dice sets for tabletop roleplaying games (20 mm or 0.79″ height). I also made a second version that fits a spindown life counter d20 from Magic: the Gathering (22 mm or 0.87″ height).
The locket is made of two halves that hook together at the bottom. You can easily insert your favorite d20 and close it. The two halves are locked together by passing a cord or chain through the rings at the top. This way you can show off your most beautiful dice without damaging them, and easily change the die when you want to use a different style or color.
Both models are available hereandhere.

This is a first picture of my design for a d20 dice pendant. With this you can take your favorite d20 with you wherever you go and show it off to the world!
Oof, it has been more than half a year since my last post… but I have finally found the time and inspiration again to work on new dice and dice related designs. I also just finished a new website to showcase (and hopefully sell) my designs!
If you are interested, please have a look at my website and my latest batch of designs at www.tiny-tokens.com
I’ll be posting a lot more pictures of my new designs soon!

#tbt This is was the video portion of my senior thesis project at Penn in 2015. I still love this shape! (#icosahedron) And I still want to work more with the themes I was trying to address in this project, including the concept of a monument, school closures, hidden burial grounds, and the forgotten histories of African-Americans in Philadelphia. All of that was a lot to try to tackle in one project. Maybe now I delve into it more thoroughly. Anyone else interested in dissecting these themes through the perspective of art?

Happy Purim! Every year I make new and crazy papercut mishloach manot packages for this ritual of edible gift giving (find previous years’ here,here, and here.) Last year’s cut-out relief boxes gave me an idea—what if the papercut was a secret, only to be revealed when the time is right?
At first glance, each box is just a regular icosahedron (math joke!), which I chose because it has a lot of triangles (think hamantaschen). Around the outside is inscribed verse 8:16 from Megillat Esther: לַיְּהוּדִים הָיְתָה אוֹרָה וְשִׂמְחָה וְשָׂשֹׂן וִיקָר — “The Jews had light and happiness, joy and honor.” (This verse also appears in the Havdallah prayer that ends Shabbat.) When it’s darkest, the boxes begin to glow. The boxes flash in bright colors and a “Happy Purim” message shines through, thanks to a hidden papercut and multi-colored blinking balloon lights. I hope these bring a little light to you in what can seem to be dark times. Spread the love! And happy Purim to all!
