It's a well known fact that I have a relationship with chocolate. Not always an entirely healthy one. We got a chocolate labrador because he reminds me of one of my favourite things! Truth is, I'm a bit of a brown person altogether.
I was reminded of this when I sold this bracelet in one of my favourite stones - bronzite - this week.
Bronzite is a deep chocolate brown, with amazing natural flecks of lighter browns and golds. It's difficult for the camera to pick them up, but they are beautiful and especially in low light, give the stone a little glow.
So off to my bead stash to see what I could make.
Simple coin earrings with a little bronze wire work. This time the camera did pick up some of the light play as it was a crisp sunny day.
Then I came across these beautiful glass beads with patterns like caramel and chocolate ice cream. Food again! They look so delicious with a bit of wire work and some smaller bronzites.
Liked them so much, I had to do a necklace too.
There are still beads left, and I resisted the temptation to try and eat them! But let's hope I've got it out of my system for a while ;-)
Have a great week and don't forget to visit
other crafty folk's blogs to see what they've been making.
