By popular demand ("popular" meaning, at least one or two people), I give you Rodin's Thinker in cream cheese (circa 2001):
"The modes of expression of men of genius differ as much as their souls."
--Auguste Rodin
Love it! :)

That's quite good for a cream cheese sculpture. I've heard cream cheese is a very difficult medium to work with, rivaled only by butter, and sculptures such as this are only attempted by the most skilled of artists. Beautiful.

Alice, you are so funny! What great talent you have and how sweet of you to do that for your friend. What great memories you all must have of that.
Posted by: KC | September 06, 2007 at 10:23 AM
What talent! Did you eat it with crackers afterwards? :)
Posted by: Jennifer in TX | September 06, 2007 at 10:26 AM
Excellent work, Alice! You're very artistic!!! :)
Posted by: Cheryl M. | September 06, 2007 at 10:35 AM
That is too funny. Is there no end to your talent, Alice?
Posted by: Jeannine | September 06, 2007 at 10:50 AM
Alice, you are amazing! In every way. I have never seen anything quite like this before.
Posted by: Diane | September 06, 2007 at 11:54 AM
I think you have a future in sculpture! Very interesting.
Posted by: Mary Beth P | September 06, 2007 at 01:57 PM
That is by far the cheesiest thing I've seen on your blog!LOL!
Posted by: Theresa | September 06, 2007 at 02:30 PM
Alice, you are a genius!
Posted by: Kathryn | September 06, 2007 at 02:47 PM
LOL! It is funny but really quite GOOD Alice!

The cream cheese Thinker would be in deep peril in my house full of cream cheese monsters.
Posted by: Beck | September 06, 2007 at 03:46 PM
I was going to say LOL but then I thought, actually it's impressive. ;-)
I've never considered cream cheese as a medium for sculpture before - what a fun thing it'd be to do in school with the kids.

I don't know, Alice, maybe I'm just not cultured enough, but I really kind of like the cream cheese rendition better :o)
Maybe it's just the creator I like better
xxoo

Thank you, Alice! That is really quite impressive. I appreciate you remembering to share it here with us. Welcome back from your trip!
Posted by: Heather | September 06, 2007 at 10:44 PM
LOL I LOVE it. But now I am hungry... I hope you ate it and had fun doing so :)
Posted by: Rachel | September 07, 2007 at 11:24 AM
Love it, Alice! Well done.
Posted by: Kristen Laurence | September 07, 2007 at 07:52 PM
Oh, what a bright future is at your artistic fingertips through the use of dairy as your medium! I can see it now, next Alice attempts Monet with Muenster, Giotto with Gouda, and Botticelli in Brie. Your worldwide renown in this area will then lead to an apt renaming of your blog to "Cottage Cheese Blessings" :)
Posted by: Mary | September 08, 2007 at 12:30 AM
LOL... What's so funny is that it's actually such a very good sculpture! Never let it be said that your sculpting talents are cheesy ;) Great memory
...xoxox

LOL Alice. Only here would I stumble upon a GOOD rendition of a sculputure - in cream cheese!

SMILE!
Posted by: Jane Ramsey | September 09, 2007 at 02:41 PM
I sooooooooooooooo wanted to see it. Thank you. The Lord truly has gifted you with a unique skill set!
Posted by: Mrs Pea | September 09, 2007 at 02:55 PM
Next time I make it to the store we will be making cream cheese sculptures. The kids are going to love you even more (if possible) the day we do this project. Your awesome.
