Micro Challenge Day 3: Constellation -- I had no white gel pen to make the stars/constellation, so I had to use a pink gel pen instead 😅 . . . . . #art #illustration #drawing #graphicdesign #designer #artsy #pencil #illustrator #loveireland #instaartist #focalmarked #modern #graphics #artoftheday #designinspiration #dailydrawing #prompts #deankealydesign #irishartist #dailysketch #aprilexploration #cheerpeppers #microchallenge #30daychallenge #constellation #watercolours #watercolors #challenge #stars https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvy5ncYHKg9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14zwibjb3tjdq

Full reveal: here are the 4 fabulous bars I selected for my April craft chocolate subscription boxes! 💛💜💙💚 On the theme of #AprilExplorations, I sent out a dark chocolate bar, dark milk bar, milk bar, and a white chocolate bar - exuberant for spring, and radical, right! That's just one reason they call me *rebel in pearls!* ;) ⚬⚪⚬⚪⚬⚪⚬ Another reason is that all the bars I choose are child-slavery-free and soy-free, although it shouldn't be radical but normal to choose what's ethical, healthful, and flavorful! 🌱 Ordering for May boxes is open now; details at link in bio! Luscious April details: ~Dark - #ritualchocolate Mid Mountain Blend. ~Dark milk - #violetskychocolate Onward & Upward custom bar, rye barrel aged, with lavender and vanilla dust. ~Milk - #originalbeans Esmeraldas Milk. ~White - #amedeituscany Pistacchi. Tasting notes on these first-class bars are in previous posts, and the unboxing video is coming soon! 🎥 Also with every box: a donation of a meal to the children of #CREERAfrica who escaped after being trafficked onto child labor cacao farms that supply big chocolate brands, and a friendship bracelet from Peru to honor the heritage of cacao. 💕 That's my #chocolatefreedomproject, and that's #UpliftThroughChocolate! 🌎 Thank you!

Guess what's in my box: real white chocolate that will change anyone's mind, made with just cocoa butter, milk, and sugar, plus stroke-of-genius pistachios, for spring zing in alignment with my theme of #AprilExplorations! 🍃 In the words of one of my tasters, who previously didn't like white chocolate: "total heaven!" Have you guessed the 2nd of 4 bars in my April #chocolatesubscriptionbox? Hint: la dolce vita! 💚 #chocolateuplift #sustainable #slaveryfree #soyfree #smallbatch #scrumptious
