Inspire me with chocolate

[Blue Box Studio]

I've a lot of chocolate and similar coloured glass.  It does as much for me as a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk - and that's not a lot.  I prefer the wrapper, lovely purple. 

Can anyone inspire me with lovely combinations for using it?

Else I'm putting it on Ebay!

I always enjoy chocolate, turquoise and ivory combo's myself or chocolate, lime and cobalt. Any use?

I've seen lovely beads using browns / turquoise / ivory combinations. Like these!

Oh, and I remember that one of the colour challenges was using chocolate brown too, may be some inspiration here.

Oh they are rather lovely.  Not got lime, was thinking I could allow myself a small shopping spree then see what I can do with the chocs.

Any other thoughts?

Can't find a lime green on Tuffer's site, is there a specific 'lime' colour? Janine mentioned lime green yesterday. Is it opaque or transparent?

It's nice with silvered ivory shards.

Someone left a pot of them after the meet up yesterday.  If someone would like to claim them I can post them on, otherwise will sneak one or two out and see how I get on 

I do have A LOT of this stuff, lots of suggestions needed.

I left the shards, I don't want them back, they were for anyone who wanted to try them.

Try effetre 212 opaque lime green, it's my favourite glass

if you dont want to lampwork with it then you could always cast it into glass choc bars, or have a little bit of fun and make little lamp worked choc bars complete with purple wrappers, as then its guilt free choc ( a whole new marketing perspective )

Oooh, would never have thought of those combinations but really like the beads on the link. Must make a note to myself to have a go....

I like rubino encased white stringer design over chocolate glass. Or rubino flowers on a chocolate base!

Ooh, thank you.  I'll leave some on the shelf for next time everyone is over.
