Du Chocolat Chaud

I have a confession...I love hot chocolate. I'm talking serious love. Whenever I feel stressed, I make myself a cup of cocoa and I immediately feel better. It doesn't matter that it is 112 F out and I'm sweating. I still love my chocolate. Todd has capitalized on this obsession and gotten me some rocking gourmet hot chocolate for Mother's Day and I adore it.

I decided that I needed to document my simple pleasure.

So I made this.


This piece was another experiment that turned out pretty well. The mug is made out of paperclay and I love the dimension that it adds to an otherwise 2 dimensional piece.


Aren't those colors divine? They are from the Metallics collection of DecoArt acrylic paints. I love their creamy richness.



Here's to obsessions...

Love this! Seriously. I am also a hot chocolate lover ... friends are amazed that even on the hottest days in the summer I find my comfort there, in a big hot mug of cocoa. So glad to read your post and find a kindred spirit! :)

I dare anyone to object to a cup of co ANYTIME! "Holy Chocolate" is tasty for a creamy milk chocolate but if you are in the mood for a deep dark chocolate? Try "Green & Black"...YUM!
