Creative cripple in need of assistance (1 Viewer)

This time of year, I typically drink black coffee made in an aeropress. In the summer, cold brew.

Aeropress makes ridiculously good coffee, but doesn't scale well, so I keep a traditional drip machine around for company.
I use a Primula moka pot. I grind Italian roast whole beans for my 3 ristrettos with whipped cream. I pour the dark liquid into a espresso cup.
Would a espresso cup with 2 steam strips help?

Hey, those look nice! I actually found somebody who helped me put together artwork for a cash set.
I found a better word for strips; wisps.

How about this for a casino chip w/o those edge stripes. You can call your chip Steampunk Lounge. Put the denoms upper right and the title arced below.
Maybe a muted thin gold circle around the circle edge but not touching the top.

I saw this "bad boy" in Zacatecas Mexico. It is a traditional espresso machine. Take that Starbucks!!
 
I was definitely considering that; the 5s and 1s in particular were basically perfect from the HSI primaries. But I ended up using this as the basis for a set of cards mold chips. Should be ready in a few months.

I can see you don't subscribe to the "assigned" colors like $25 green. I was thinking to "go out of book" as they say in chess. I like your idea of the 4 semi-circles. I personally wouldn't use them once I poop and get off the pot. I guess you can use different stripe or circle for different denoms.
This might give you ideas:

Even the photos in the Guide doesn't adhere to colors and denoms. It is your ideas and custom set.

Yeah, I was at the coffee shop an hour ago. Excuse the scungy tossle cap. My mom and school told me at an early age not to wear head coverings indoors. Except in a poker room and then if mom crawled out of the grave she would probably knock it off.

Well, I do, but most greens wouldn't work with the earth-toned inlay. And I was making a micro-cash set, so 20s instead of 25s made a lot of sense.

Eventually I hope I find myself gambling for enough money that it makes sense to make a set in standard Vegas colors, but that's probably a ways off.

This post has me confused??? Most casinos these days don't have a frac, but blue ones are common among sets here on PCF. And white $1, red $5 and yellow $20 are also pretty standard. I see you're new here. Maybe you should spend a little more time reading and getting up to speed?

These are awesome! It's been really cool to watch this come together! Very nice set and I can't wait to see the real thing.

feltschmerz mentioned green earth tones. I thought I could help. I noticed in Official Chip Price Guide, I saw chips not using the standard colors for the denoms. So like I mentioned, when I decide to customize a set I might use gray instead of white, sky blue for blue and any other color that suites my fancy.

I just got my Royal Flush chips just now via UPS.
I snagged this image from google:

I just got this from Discount Poker 30 minutes ago. My very first set. I also bought other denominations that arrived too. Excited! Another photo to follow.

and the rest of them:

I like that traditional style. Maybe I should've uploaded to an original post.
