Dice, Dice and more Dice

So I guess you may be sitting back and going... Who actually likes Dice? Those plain 6 sided cubes that are always lost when you want to have that Monopoly or Snakes and Ladders game, which you have decided to dig out from the back of the cupboard because you are bored to the point of no return!! And, you know to some extent you are correct, but I am here to save the day for those poor defenseless pieces of cubed (and many other shaped) bits of plastic. I reckon now you are asking is MslilPeta actually for real... has she lost a couple of marbles upstairs??? Simply put NO I haven't (in the nicest way ... truly :p ).. I collect Dice or Die or how ever you want to pluralize the word!!!

Starting only about 3 years ago I decided that my love for all things games, video/computer games, traditional board games and cards, I would start a collection of dice as I new that they did come in a huge array of number of sides, colours, materials and the like... Serious! Dice can range from 4 sided through to 100 sided and can be made out of many different materials. All I can say is I love 'em!!! And now that I can spend more hours on the internet with my home business I have more time to search the corners of the earth for those dice I don't have yet and may not even be commercially available any more or ever have been. I am super lucky enough to have found a great supplier out of the US who get some great dice in for their range and also cater to my custom orders from companies like, Chessex and Koplow. I also have collected some dice from Q-Workshop and Crystal Caste. If you would like me to get you the information for my EBay seller I am sure they will be happy enough to help you with your order too.

Dice, were originally made from bone that is why sometimes they are referred to as bones or knuckles. But dice of today are made from a range of materials including wood, plastic, Zinc alloy, Casino Dice made from Cellulose Nitrate, and I have some made from Jade. Of course you can get novelty dice and loaded dice and so forth, so there is certainly something for everyone out there!

Dice collecting also has added to my life in so much as the amount of people, family and friends included generating their own interest in what I have collect so far. Many of my dice come from overseas so when I was working as an employee for my last job my staff and territory manager always wanted to be in on the act when a new shipment arrived.. Dice are the great conversation starter, and interest generator... Again.. Love 'em!!! I will even share a pic with you all ... Enjoy and any questions just give me a hoy!!! Don't be shy... :)
