It's that time of year with lots of special occasions where the order of the day is, chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate!

So the theme of this challenge is "For the love of Chocolate".

So here is a picture to inspire your creations.


Chocolaty browns, red, and hearts, a scrumptious combination whether you decide to incorporate all 3 of just your favourite 2!

To enter all you need to do is post up a picture of your creation in this thread.

You can enter any bead, beaded or jewellery item. Don't forget that also covers/includes wire work, metal work, polymer clay, lampwork, etc!

All you need to remember is that you can only enter one piece (or set) per challenge.

The closing date is the last day of March.

Good luck, we look forward to seeing your entries.

Daisy

Heart This is our entry - our being myself and 11 year old daughter. We have spent some time today making this delightful concoction however please do not ask to see any addiditional photos as most of the set has subsequently been digested by the said 11 year old!



Set comprises sooper dooper sized earrings, plaited choker with chunky focal (knot and loop fastener) and completed with matching ring.



Set made from strawberry laces, chunky chocolate disks decorated with hundreds and thousands and haribo hearts. Everything edible apart from the clips for the earrings.

Not shown in the pics is the destruction of a packet of sweetheart sweets as we attempted to make holes in them. Sadly Crying we had to eat them! Tee hee

wow, that is such a cool and literal interpretation of the theme! I love it. Mr. Green






BTW, I have amended the wording of my original post from chocolate, to chocolaty browns, Embarassed just in case people were wondering. If you would like to make your jewellery from chocolate (and candy) them please do, I love the creativity and original designs, but if you prefer to make something in chocolaty brown tones, that's fab too!

Thank you for the generous comments - it was entertaining to do. Can't wait for the theme of "treacle sponge and custard". Daisy

Lol, 'treacle sponge & custard' - that I've got to see. That set is fabulous, but I'm not surprised it didn't live long Very Happy Daisy
