While looking for an item in the studio, Monet and me came across a project I had done a long time ago. I had made a box of chocolates. The original box I made was crushed, but I had a small box from the treats I bought from the candy house when I went looking for the gold elastic I needed for a project.
The chocolates are made from shiny brown paper and folded into a small folder. When Ma was 16 she worked at a candy factory. She could read the swirls on the top of fancy chocolates which told whether the inside was a cream, nut, nougat, jelly, etc.
I made swirls for the chocolates using Elmer's glue and walnut ink.
The filling inside the chocolate was/is an accordion folded, strip of Arches Text Wove. A chocolate saying was written with walnut ink. You can see the back of the folder in the photo.
Today's chocolate saying is: Carpe Chocolate
Carpe Chocolate always! 😁

DeleteCarpe chocolate works for me. And seeing my metabolism has to be on double time to stay warm with this wind, carpe chocolate sounds perfect. I hope you don't lose power.
