After the Styrofoam base is complete, it is placed on a plywood as a support base and we continue the process with the next step which is kneading the butter and patching and sculpting it onto the base. This is quite a hard process as it requires patience. After kneading, the butter is patched onto the base. From this process onward, the whole sculpture have to be maintained in a cool room together with the butter to prevent it from melting. Patching the butter on smoothly is not easy as it needs to be done little by little, first patching thin layers of butter, followed by the other details. To add up to the peacock shape, we have added more butter on certain spots such as the 'stomach' and the wings. This adds a more rounded feature on certain parts of the bird. Buttering and smoothing the sculpture is the final and most important process, here is our final product.
