I love this so much! I don't have an artistic bone in my body, but all the bones are comprised primarily of calcium derived from chocolate and chocolate accessories. Who knew those beans were icky?

They had some "blusih" cast and "moldy" characteristics which were VERY charismatic ans stunning to look at where "older, moldy" as told to me by the Madagascar cocoa farmers!

More soon!
