NICE
DICE
CUSTOMS



http://www.instagram.com/nicedicecus





http://www.instagram.com/nicedicecustoms My name is Stan and I am the owner of Nice Dice Customs. I have always customized my own games so when I couldn't get any creators to make custom dice to use with my Heroclix teams, I decided to make my own. Fast forward 8 years and I'd say that things got out of hand. I'm coming up on 2000 designs in my gallery. If something there doesn't speak to you, reach out and commission a design. The dice are laser engraved one at a time to ensure proper sizing and centering. Then they are hand painted with tiny brushes/syringes and a magnifying glass. So pick up some custom dice and make your gaming a reflection of who you are.

One of her biggest goals is to give readers that same experience. She wants them to get lost in her work as they read it.


In Hope, we meet seventeen year old Juniper Mikah, and the world she lives in. Humans now live underground, 300 years after a nuclear world war. Juniper is set to spend six months in Discovery, where each fresh batch of arrivals learn skills to benefit their home compound. But she has a secret mission: to find out what happened two years ago when her father vanished. Little does Juniper know, what she's about to uncover will shock her to the core...

BURNED
TO LIFE
(HERBS, EMBERS, AND OILS)



https://www.facebook.com/BurnedtoLife





It was a pleasure to burn... It may not be the greatest tagline, considering its origin is from Fahrenheit 451 and it's about burning books. But I decided to adopt it anyway, and give it a new meaning. After all, I'm bringing dead trees to life by giving them a new purpose through fire and art.


Wood is my canvas and watching it transform into a work of art, truly makes it a pleasure to burn. And because I also love all that nature has to offer and believe that it provides all we really need, I also make a variety of soaps, remedies, and other natural products. They won't give you superpowers, but they might make you happy!



THE
HAPPY
HIEROPHANT



https://www.instagram.com/happyhiero/





From TikTok success to this table, my mission is to help people find and create meaning in their lives through Tarot readings, crystals, and mindfulness-inspired jewelry.


I believe that there’s a life lesson in everything, and I strive to discover and share as many of them as I can.


In this chapter, I’m doing it through tools that are commonly associated with the realms of the spiritual, the metaphysical, and the occult. In other words, magic. But with me, magic is more of a reality than a fantasy.


If you’re ready to talk about the metaphysical and psychosocial forces that truly animate and articulate our lives, come say hi!
