My recommendation is to use a deck of cards. Shuffle it to your heart's content, then type in the order of the cards into a string, such as "Ah9d3s3h...". Hash that and use the resulting 32 bytes as your seed. You can use armoryengine to do the conversions: hash256() to hash the string, and "makeSixteenBytesEasy()" to convert each half of the string to a line that can be entered into the wallet restore window.
The order of a deck of cards has 225 bits of entropy, which is plenty big enough. I tried the dice thing before, but it's a lot of dice rolls and it makes a lot of noise. The deck of cards is much more pleasant

) Sometimes when I shuffle a deck, the cards are too similar to the original.Dice sounds like a better method to me if you want a great real-world entropy source (and you have the time to spare), especially if you're not experienced at shuffling cards well.
