Giant Sculpture of Darth Vader and Yoda Carved out of Butter

By John Farrier in Art, Film, Food & Drink on Nov 21, 2008 at 9:28 pm

An old, but good story:

Each year at the Tulsa State Fair, an artist is commissioned to make a sculpture out of butter. In past years, cows, farmers, and baseball players were created out of hundreds of pounds of butter. This year, in celebration of Star Wars’s final episode, TSF is featuring Darth Vader and Yoda, all dairy-like.

    I remember reading that the original Lord of the Rings effects crew started out working in butter to sculpt their concept models because that’s all they had to work with before the money started flowing. I guess there’s no natural clay down in New Zealand.

    Neat, but what a waste of butter, and I know that butter is pretty expensive too.
