Do you play Chess? No, but I eat the Pieces!

Really, I don't think I can say much about this creation.
Except maybe for anyone whom isn't familiar with my anal-retentiveness.
(I am, after all, a textbook Virgo people!)
Still, the only thing I'd say to them would be:

"Of course those chess pieces and that chess board are NOT plastic! Sheesh! What kind of Pastry Chef do you take me for? I cast those myjinself out of delicious Imported Swiss Dark and White Chocolate then finished them by hand."

SHELLS - As Interpreted By jin & Blogpal Scott

I'd like to introduce everyone to my pal
Scott, aka "Gnat of Glass".
He creates amazing vases, paperweights, marbles & shells
like this one:Scott's Exquisite Blown Glass Shell

He's currently got a contest going on where you can WIN a FREE piece!
He says he'll ship them anywhere (even outside the US!) so go over and
Play The Contest!
Be sure to tell him that jin sent you, because if one of my readers wins a piece then so do I! You don't even have to have a Blogger account, so no excuses!

Gnat's pieces are better than mine in one way...
they will last a lifetime.
jin's pieces certainly won't...
they are Belgian chocolate.

Why don't you all keep me company while I decorate?

One here...one over there...

I wear the gloves because I will not tolerate a marring fingerprint on my spectacular shimmery shells.

Oh! Missed a spot! There. That's better.

MMmmm....doesn't the mixture of Chocolate & Vanilla French Buttercream smell divine?!

Voilà!
