You know, the first few times I saw pics of the faces of these chips I thought they were hideously ugly, tacky, and cheap looking compared to a lot of the clay chips by Paulson, BCC, et al. Slowly though as I watched the EPT the chips really grew on me. They appeared so much more bright, colorful, and vivid than the pics had led me to believe and seeing them in such large, neatly stacked formations made me fall in love with them. They've actually rekindled my interest in ceramics and have me trying to figure out how to expand my heads up set of Chipcos.
