Hi all,
Just wanted to share the proofs from the incredible J5 for my first custom CPC set. Order was placed in April, but I just finalized the inlay!
This has been in the works for quite some time now (color samples, inlaid shuffle stacks of each mold, etc), and I am very excited!
Short backstory: My first child was born last year, so I wanted this to be bear his name (Van, pronounced like "Vawn"). While he was a wee infant, we would sometimes play some baby lullaby videos for him. For whatever reason each time this video with a stork/heron came on screen, he absolutely lit up, in fact it was the first thing in the world that made him smile. So it's as simple as that: his name and a bird (bird colors match chip base and spots)
T25 - Light Green (Green + Dayglo Peach)
T100 - Black (Dayglo Arc Yellow + Light Blue)
T500 - Lavender (Dayglo Yellow + Dayglo Pink)
T1000 - Canary (Dayglo Green + Green + Dark Green)
T5000 - Dayglo Tiger (Dayglo Peacock + Dark Blue)
T25000 - Imperial Blue (Daylgo Peach + Bright White)
"Bonus Chip" (bounty, rebuy, etc) - Bright white (Dayglo Tiger + Canary + Dayglo Peacock)
I know Green is repeated in the T25 and T1000, but I think it's acceptable given the space between the denoms. Also, Peach is used in the T25 and T25000 (this chip will probably get 0 table time anyway, I just wanted to have it)
Also, I decided to do a 2-sided chip with both orientations of the bird on each face. I'm not sure if this will be annoying irl, but I guess we'll see haha
