Can it really be more than a month since I last posted? Gads, where does the time go!

We have had a busy month, but I plan to catch up on the workshop pictures today because we still have 12 great workshops coming up this year and I want to get a chance to talk about them before they happen.

Now, to pick up where I left off — Koo Schadler’s egg tempera class. Here are some pictures that Mark took on towards the end of the week.

Can you tell which are the original images and which are the copies?

Koo’s class filled up quickly this year, so start planning in advance! Koo will be back at Hudson River Valley Art Workshops August 21 – 27, 2011.

While the class was busy in the studio, Mark, the man behind Life By Chocolate, was busy creating some fabulous new chocolate confections for Halloween.

Starting at the top left corner and zig zagging down to the lower right corner we have: Hot Chocolate (a handmade cinnamon marshmallow), Orange Cinnamon Ganache, Hazelnut Marzipan, Pumpkin Caramel Ganache, Smoke Bite (smoked peanut butter), Grand Marnier Apricot Cordial, Pumpkin Pie Caramel, Solid Dark Chocolate Pumpkin, Mocha Marshmallow.

This delectable selection is already available on the Life By Chocolate website and should soon be appearing at the stores carrying our chocolates (the list of stores is on our website, too).
