My
daughter, Josephine, wins First Prize in city wide Belcolad chocolate
sculpture competition,
Montreal, October 20, 2008

The
Lady and the Lyre
chocolate, pulled sugar (harp strings)
60 x 50 x 15 cm (24 x 20 x 6 in)
2008 |
It
was her inspiration, dedication, perseverance, persistence, hard work,
focus under pressure, charm and humility that brought her her success.
I just kept her fed. ;-) Her Dad.

I
would like to thank everyone who was directly involved in the realization
of this project. Without them, none of this would have been possible.
To Belcolade, the organizer of the event, who gave us this great opportunity
and, most importantly, provided the chocolate. To my school, Pearson Adult
and Career Centre, who put up with my frantic, stressed out (and not very
nice) self during the last 6 weeks. Who also provided top notch facilities
and tended to my every need.
To my fellow competitors: you are all so tatented. I loved your work and
your spirit.
My teachers: To Vi Minh, always calm, cool and collected until of course
the day of when he's babbling a mile a minute about all the things i need
to remember. Boy was he stressed. Weren't we all!
To Fabrice, my motivator. Claudette and Alfred were always there to help
me with everything I needed.
And Pierre, who drove me and my piece in his minivan (going the speed
limit) and set up everything at Complexe Desjardins. Great guy.
And of course my father. My Rock. Who listened to my ideas and helped
me work through the problems that I faced along the way. Who woke up with
me at 4:45am to drive me to school to pick up my showpiece. Who stayed
at the competition from 10am till 6pm, just as nervous and shaky as I
was. Who took all the amazing pictures.
Dad I could not have done this without you. You rock!
To everyone who took the time (and on a work day!) to come out and see
my piece I thank you for your support.
