ASSALAMMUALAIKUM

HI, READERS...

NOW,  WE WOULD SHARE ABOUT BUTTER SCULPTURE.

LETS BEGIN WITH A HISTORY OF BUTTER SCULPTURE

Butter sculptures often depict animals, people, buildings and other objects. They are best known as attractions at state fairs in the United States as lifesize cows and people, but can also be found on banquet tables and even small decorative butter pats.

The earliest documented butter sculptures date from 1536 Europe where they were used on banquet tables. 1870s America, created by Caroline Shawk Brooks, a farm woman from Helena, Arkansas. The heyday of butter sculpturing was about 1890-1930, but butter sculptures are still a popular attraction at agricultural fairs, banquet tables and as decorative butter patties

You Will Need:

* Butter

* A cool room

* Ice water

* Materials for the framework

* Sculpting tools

* Food coloring

This are the tips from our search:

Step 1: Find a cool room

Find a cool room in which to work so your butter doesn’t melt as you sculpt.

*Tip: Today, Tibetan monks create their works of art in rooms kept at 32° F.

Step 2: Pick a subject

Pick a subject. Let your mind run wild. Butter sculptors have created everything from The Last Supper to Elvis Presley.

Step 3: Soak the butter

Soak the butter in very cold water in order to remove impurities and give the butter an extra- smooth texture. The amount of butter you soak depends on how large you’d like your sculpture to be.

Step 4: Build the frame

Build a frame to hold your base in place. Traditionally, bamboo sticks were fashioned into the framework, but you can use wood and/or metal.

Step 5: Dip hands in ice

Before you start sculpting, dip your hands in ice water. Your hands must be kept practically numb, or your body heat will melt your creation.

Step 6: Knead the butter

Knead the butter into a paste that’s free of air bubbles.

*Tip: Add food coloring to the paste, or parts of the paste, if you like.

Step 7: Butter the base

Load the butter onto the base, and begin shaping it with your hands.

Step 8: Fine-tune your design

Fine-tune your design with tallow tools. Use modeling tools for smoothing and contouring large surfaces, and sculpting tools for intricate detail.

*Tip: Many household items, like shoe horns and manicure instruments, can be turned into sculpting tools, so use your imagination.

Step 9: Keep it cool

Once you’ve completed your masterpiece, store it somewhere it won’t melt before the big reveal.
