Ohh - I haven't played with Sashas's silve for a while now - must dig that out!!

I don't tend to use much chocolate brown, but inspired by this challenge, I've made these

Isn't this just a yummy thread??! Chocolate anything is ALWAYS good! Lovely, lovely beads as ever.

Sorry to be so obvious, but my humble offering is dark, milk and white choc combo hollows.

[cbeadies]

Yum, those chocolates look delicious! Trudi, that set is very gorgeous too.
I love the combination of chocolate with blue too for those fabulous buttons. And Shelia that is a beautiful focal, lots of lovely colours in there.

I'm off to have another go at melting chocolate too...first attempts not good!!

[MadelineBunyan]

yummy chocolate!

I made a kitty

[awrylemming]

Aww, he's a cute kitty, what a lovely expression.  The chocolate brown is particular good on him 

[cbeadies]

Meet Bobby the robin, based on Trudi's fun tutorial in Beads and Beyond.

He's not perfect but I am pleased with him.  
He even stands up...on one leg anyway! I think I'll make him some cousins and turn them into Christmas tree decorations.

[Trudi]

Just adore Bobby he's a real cutie

Some lovely beads here this month
Thanks to a very kind FH member who sent me some chocolate brown (and other lovely glassy goodies) I am now able to take part in this months challenge. My first attempt was a total disaster, looks poo
the second and third ones are not so bad so will have a go at getting pitcures tomorrow and posting them.

here are my chocolate beads

[Shirl]

Here is my offering of BHB.
The smiley bead was really difficult because I didnt realise that the brown went back when hot, so it was hard to see where I had put the smiley face
Another lesson learnt

Brown seems to lend itself to confectionary and small animals - I have succumbed to making an owl.



Shelia

[Helen G]

Who would have thought that brown could produce so many lovely beads, I love the little owl 
I actuallly had a custom order in ivory and 448 this week so thought I'd squeeze another one in this thread.



I did add the odd touch of Ekho too 

[Shirl]

Oh Helen, I love the brown heart, and Shelia your owl is cute

[AnnaSpanna]

I must have made these as one of the first bracelets I ever put together. I sold it over the summer but was always a little disappointed that the browns never really have that deep dark velvety chocolate tone to them - more of a reddish earthy colour. But oh well, Dark choc brown, along with light ivory and black, nonetheless!

Some lovely work in here this month!
I am going to let this run until I am back from holiday in a couple of weeks and then have a break for December - returning in the New Year with a January challenge!
