Custom ceramic edge spots the resemble clay (1 Viewer)

[BigSlickTux]

I can't decide if I would like my ceramic chips to have edge spots that are crisp and straight or more rough like an actual clay chip. Which do you think looks better for a ceramic chip. As always, thank you!

I think any edgespots on a ceramic are mimicking a clay chip, so making the edges roughened is the way to go.

Good point, but I'm thinking Paulson edges. I like that idea though.

Ceramics shouldn't try too hard to mimic clay, since they have their own design strengths. Play to them.

I am not a fan of making ceramics resamble clay chips in layout ....you can so many more options on ceramics, why not to use them?

I second this.

Great opinions so far. Come on PCF I need more votes and input. Make my decision easier.

Why mimic edge spots when you can do things like this!

Those look very nice! You scoop a pot and try to put the puzzle together. LOL

I think it all comes down to what you want the end result to look like. If you want to mimic clay paulson chips on a ceramic, my personal opinion is to go with cards mold. Since they have the debossed cards and ring around the center, it's fairly easy to create edge spots and inlay art to mimic a clay chip. That's what I wanted when I designed my cards mold tournament set. And I definitely wanted irregular lines on my edge spots. Except on my Bounty chips which were on the plain mold. For those I went with straight lines on the edge spots.

You mentioned a good point that I didn’t think about. The card mold vs. no mold. I am going with hybrids from Tina, I guess maybe straight lines might be better.
