As you now realise that is the subject of the latest Creative Tuesdays challenge. Not eating them but depicting them on paper.
When I started on this challenge I wanted to make some fabric chocolates, 3D ones, but found I didn't have any dark brown fabric, so thought I would use marker pens on paper, again no dark brown. This made me realise that I don't use dark browns in anything I do, so had to resort to acrylics. The browns I had were samples I received from DecoArt when I was being published in craft magazines whilst using their paints.
Lots of lovely chocolatey sweetness on the CT blog. Sorry I mean't to add a photo of a box of my chocolates as well, but unfortunately someone has eaten them!!
Oh Yum, Linda.... I'll take the first row, now to be selfish since I first and leave some for the rest..... This is really a darling take on the theme.
ReplyDeleteI meant to say "NOT" to be selfish...Guess you could say taking the top row was selfish....hahaha.
ReplyDeleteBy the time we see all these postings we'll all be heading for the chocolate. Just finished my post and it will be up tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece.
Blessings,

ahaha...love your chocolates Linda, glad you found some dark brown somewhere. What a wonderful thing, a chocolate tasting club, lucky you!
ReplyDeletethis is a fun and playful assortment.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, your box of chocolates looks delicious. You made it to appear that there was even the wrapping around each one. I love the doodles added that created a realistic effect on each chocolate. I used to create and was a DecoArt artist for their magazines too. Small world. ;-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Oh yes, I wonder who ate the box of chocolates? LOL And glad to hear you spoil yourself with your deliveries. :-)
ReplyDeletewe all know chocolate are brown but have you forgotten there is such a thing as white chocolate? if I don't have brown, I might have make them white.
ReplyDeletethis is lovely interpretation and the patterns are just like real chocolate.
have a sweet day.
What a great pattern! Would be lovely as wallpaper in a cafe or bakery. Beautiful job (-:
ReplyDeleteOh, HAHA, I love you last line there, Linda. Too funny! Well, the fabric ones would have been oodles of fun too but this piece is wonderful. I love your patterns. Great job. Very elegant...as one might expect from such a connoisseur of fine dark guilty pleasure chocolates! Mmm...yes bliss indeed. I so love dark chocs too but they can give me headaches now so have to be careful there.
ReplyDeleteAs for not having any brown fabric, it's too bad they can't be more like paints where you can mix them, orange and blue. :)
LOVE your box of chocolates!! I'm a chocoholic so this post "hit a HOME RUN" for me. Seriously - a Chocolate Tasting Club? I'd be in Choco-Heaven!

Great sketch - reminds me of the traditional boxes of chocolates my parents would have when I was a child.
