[034] Making Games Every Day for a Month, Day 24 of 31: Consequence Cube™️ (continued)

"One of the keys to magick is the use of the imagination. Imagination is a plastic medium. Giving form to our beliefs, it creates, supports and destroys the realities we believe. Imagination is an activity of the inner senses." - Jan Fries, Visual Magick

We're back, to finish the Cube™️.

Today I experimented by mixing milk paint with a small bit of rawhide glue.

When I worked at Lakota Youth Development , I was told that parfleche paintings are traditionally made from a mixture of rawhide glue and earth pigments. It seems to work great, and the pigment feels more effectively fixed to the surface.

A quick finish with tung oil, which is also a new experiment for me. I like how thick and gobby it is. My usual oil is walnut oil, which tends to add a bit of a yellowish hue. Tung oil seems much more transparent. I dig it.

And a metal ring, so you never lose your Consequence Cube™️! Carry it with you on the go!

I had some moments of doubt with this one, but now I quite like it. Good colors and nice thick letters. Next time - if I make another - I'd like to try a heavier wood so it really clunks around when you give it a toss.
