State Fair Butter Sculptures
From Texas to Minnesota, summertime means a special kind of attraction: butter sculptures. A strange, usually overlooked form of folk art, these beautiful works painstakingly crafted from dairy are on display at state fairs across the nation.
The Iowa State Butter Cow is the most famous butter work. I like Butter Elvis, on display in Dallas, TX; I wonder what percentage of the real Elvis’ body has composed of butter when he passed. Anyway, this Flickr set has a pretty great roundup of dairy art.
