[QUOTE="skotothalamos, post: 6386122, member: 83398"] Luckily, my wife is craftier than I am. :) The tokens are made by taking little 1-inch mosaic tiles and printing portraits to size (actually at about 13/16ths of an inch), and gluing those on both sides to make the core of the piece. Then we take a bakeable polhymer clay to make the border, with about an 8th of an inch raised edge, front and back. The polymer clay is baked to set (follow the instructions for the clay), then the "well" created on both sides is sealed with three coats of Mod Podge clearcoat. This seals the bubbles in the mosaic tile, paper, and polymer clay border. Then a two-part epoxy resin is mixed to fill the wells. One side gets transparent; the other side gets a bid of red die so the pieces can be flipped to their Bloodied side when needed. The whole process takes a few days, so we typically do them one or two adventures at a time. For minions, I just glue some pictures onto the mosaic tiles and call it a day. The difference communicates the difficulty of the enemies pretty quickly. We use a silver polymer clay for PCs and a sort of bronze color for NPCs and monsters. good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
