Hey guys do u remember the guy who posted here by using Chinese?
Now I am back!
This time I use English because I have hired a translator. I think this will help u guys know more about us!
First I will show u my designed Gem Keycaps! (My fellow would rather call it Hard Candy, who cares).
This thing was born by my an accidentally trying. Unconsciously, I found it just like a shining gem!
So I think I should create a series of keycaps in the theme of jewel. Of course I came through lots of failure. However I tried my best to make it better again and again. Also thanks to my friends` advice, this little thing is perfect now.

I used CNC(Computer numerical control) cutting the prototype. Then I made copies of resin model by silica gel. After this, every keycaps were cut into random shape and I used abrasive paper to polish the surface for five to seven times. At last I sprayed gloss varnish. In this way I had finished a gem keycap.

I also designed some new stuffs!
I love Daft Punk very much and this is Daft Punk theme cartoon keycaps.

If u like my handicraft, please contact me by e-mail

That Toa Hao Miami set is really rancid.

Those gem caps look mostly like trans blanks, maybe it's just bad photography?

They look great! Would definitely be interested in picking some up (if your selling).

Also, <3 Daft Punk.

They look nice especially the clear ones, what about adding glitter to the clear ones to make them all sparkly suck as adding it when you cast that would be awesome then it has a little extra a glint to the gem :3

It looks like they are trans blanks with faceting on the top, I guess it's easier to show pictures than to explain it:

Goodbye wallet, it's been nice;

those Daft Punk caps !!!

romevi · « **Reply #23 on:** Wed, 05 August 2015, 14:39:11 »

Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, oh my gosh...

Somehow I missed the DP caps on my first scroll-through. Daft Punk has been my favorite musicians since 1995. I would LOVE for those caps to come into existence.

I--NEED--THEM.

HoffmanMyster · « **Reply #24 on:** Wed, 05 August 2015, 14:50:31 »

gen.s, it looks like this would fit better in the Artisan forum (where people sell caps and other handmade items). Would you like me to move it there? The other option would be the Vendor forum, which is intended for businesses to sell their products. Feel free to shoot me a PM or respond here.

Nuum · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 05 August 2015, 14:52:27 »

I love them, especially the black and the purple one! If you're seling them or doing a GB I'd be in.

I like the Gem caps a lot.

The Daft Punk caps are more of my style though. I may pick up 1-2 gem caps, but when you make the daft punk caps I will try to get those for sure
