This is my response to this week's Three Muses challenge, "you are what you eat". And I eat a lot, A LOT, of chocolate. I have a studio chocolate bowl... I love just about everything that is chocolate, including the chocolate wrappers...
This is an ATC made of fabric paper - where I have collaged layers of paper chocolate wrappers onto muslin, added metallic threads, put on an overlay of netting, then burned, stamped paint circles, stitched, and used some vintage embellishments: ribbon, beads, and a mother of pearl button turned to show the mottled shell on the back. Like a little white chocolate, with drizzles.

Luckily, Seattle is home to a number of great chocolate companies, such as Seattle Chocolates, Fran's Chocolates, and my favorite local company, Theo Chocolate.
If you visited my post for last week's Three Muses challenge, you know I also love tea. With tea and chocolate together - oh my, life is fine indeed!

Sharon, your ability to make such wonderful art out of such mundane things confounds me! I hope some of your art makes its way to the walls of a fine art museum someday.
