Help Needed -The Mayflies (1 Viewer)

Added my wife's drawing of a mayfly.

Looking to make a Tournament set with 5, 25, 100, 500 and 2,000(?) denominations. Old West and GOCC are at the tops of my choices for producing the chips. GOCC sample set have been shipped and Old West color set is in hand.

I'm looking to hire a designer to work with me. This is a ceramic project.

Each denomination would have it's own mayfly(yet to be determined)
o Hendrickson
o Green Drake
o Light Cahill
o Pale Morning Dun
o Quill Gordon
o The Hex

I want the background to the mayfly to be rise rings. Trout eat these bugs off the surface.

The above are for reference.
Now, below picture the Mayfly on the chip in place of the droplet.

The Game On chip samples arrived and I prefer the feel/texture of those over the Sun-flys.

I sketched a simple chip design, unfortunately I suck at art and had to stop before adding the rings in the background.

Interesting chip idea... I wonder how a tied fly would look?

In the stickied Thread of Proofs, ChipEnvy has a tied fly design. Post #78

Something like this? I am just playing around with designs and learning the tools, so what ever you say about this wont offend.

Wow!
Thank you!

Not what I exactly have pictured in my head but now I have to readjust my head, but not that far off.

In my head was:
Fly name top centered(poor representation in my pic)
Rings with more coverage of the whole chip( looking for depth and texture in the background)(this was the main reason of a ceramic)
I love the background you put in with the mountains, I hadn't thought of that for this chip.
Denom below the mayfly and smaller. (Not that important)
Mayfly head facing to the left.

Neat concept. You need a big brown trout busting through the surface, mouth wide open.

I've thought about doing a custom trout club set with different types of trout on the inlays. Would be great for my garage game with a keg of

Of the ceramic samples I have my favorite ceramic set is the Tikis, and then the Vignobles a distant second. (I don't have any custom samples)
I'm looking for that background that takes advantage of a ceramic chip.

After this set I'm going to make up a custom CPC set with trout on the inlay.

Luckily my wife likes playing with the chip design tool.

It is still a design in progress and needs professional help. I've only been able to find a few custom ceramic sets of the forum, Paymasters, Nine Dragons, Windy Crest and a few others.

Anyone have a suggestion as to which designer could really make this chip set special?

Edit: Added Windy Crest

Do you want the background more, uh, simple?
Again, I am learning the tools and trying to help.. and having a little fun..

It makes me want to drink a beer! Or make and sell beer with that chip!
Thank you.

The mayfly looks great!
Simpler? Yes and no.
Rings less irregular and more pronounced
More colors and fade

And the Music Shack is super cool!

Life got busy and had to put chips on hold.

Going to get this going again.

And test to see if images post

Just going to re-open this thread instead of starting a new one to design a cash set. Going to try to get a cash set made with a Mayfly theme since the CPC Cutthroats set became a tournament set.
I’m looking for a vineyards style ceramic with a mayfly in place of the grapes that i hope to have made by BR pro poker.


some vineyard links:
Vineyard Casino history
@Mac128k Chipco Ceramic Vineyards
@MikesDad tribute Winery CPC (I believe these were designed by @Johnny5 )
Also I think @timinater designed a cards mold tribute (I did not find a link to the cards mold design)

the hind wing could become a or club

It seems I’m not bright enough to change the thread name.

Good choice on BR Pro
