on a silvery tray! I just listed this set of handmade, handsewn and beaded faux chocolates in my etsy shop...The tops are reversible and there is room inside each one for a tiny trinket or ring or special little note. They are original and one-of-a-kind creations and are signed and dated on the bottom by me with gold fabric paint. This picture shows one side of each chocolate and the next picture shows the reverse side of each...
Here is a closer look at the velvet chocolate and its interior. It is embellished with dark topaz colored glass beads and centered with a warm honey-colored glass flower and small chocolate colored bead.
The small picture next to it shows it's reverse side which is embellished with pineapple colored glass beads and centered with a chocolate colored vintage sequin and a cream colored glass bead.
These two pictures offer a closer look at the second chocolate of this set. The beads which look violet-colored look more like chocolate brown in real life...they have a violet cast to them. The fabric is a warm golden champagne colored crepe de chine. The fabric of the chocolate cups is rich and chocolatey colored with flecks of dark chocolate.
The following is a description I wrote about them to accompany the listing in my etsy shop. To the right of this page you may visit my etsy shop by clicking on the small picture of them in the etsy window or by clicking on "Zhenne Wood Art Things" which appears there in blue. I plan to list more of my "Very Sweet Handsewn Chocolates" throughout this month and will also present them here at "All Zhenne & Everything". Enjoy a very sweet day!
Description
A set of two "Very Sweet Handsewn Faux Chocolates" (fabric and beaded confections) from the studio of artist/dollmaker, Zhenne Wood. This listing is for the set of two and includes the silvery tray! Each of these finely crafted "faux chocolates" is also a little box with a reversible top. The different views here show both sides of the chocolate tops as they sit on the tray and the interiors. They are beautifully handmade and handsewn with glass beads and antique sequins. They are one-of-a-kind, and signed/dated on the bottom in gold fabric paint. There is room inside each for a special little trinket, or ring, or secret message. A perfect gift for someone special in your life...maybe even yourself!
I first began making these little chocolates in the early '90's and although I have made 100's of them, each one is unique! They have been very popular with collectors of fine crafts, chocolate fanciers, and also as gifts for special occasions.
About size: Each chocolate is 1 1/2" diameter and 1" high. The opening is approximately 1" by 1/2" wide. The space inside is approx 1/4" to 1/2" deep.
They will be securely shipped Priority mail with delivery tracking number and gift-wrapped (even if they are for yourself!) I wrap each one with clear or red cellophane and tied with shiny red ribbon.
