Butter Sculpture, Alyssa

A practice sculpt using 90 pounds of butter.
August 22, 2018 at the State Fair Grounds
The butter block with Theresa (Midwest Dairy's Agricultural Affairs Manager) and Alyssa (Program Manager for Midwest Dairy) my model.


The Master Butter Sculptor, Linda Christensen.


My cold hands blocking out the sculpture.


Part way through.






The sculpture as I left it. My index finger was cramping up so badly I had to stop. This was about 5.5 hours of work in a 34 degree refrigerator.


Looking at this now it's obvious what should have been done to make the butter look more like Alyssa. I always ask myself, "Why didn't you see these things before?"
