Fresh, creamy butter formed into curls with the extra bits and pieces of stick butter in the background. I found out that butter curling is not a natural talent for me! LOL!

  After looking at this wonderful photo I'm not sure which took more time; making the butter curls or taking the photo.

aaaaa bbbbb
  When I saw the small post of this, I thought it was a bowl of develed eggs. Very creative idea. Great lighting and detail.

So how long did it take you do do these curls?

  Thanks so much! It took WAY too long! LOL! On my first attempt, I gave up in frustration... then I researched tips for butter curling online and tried it again another day. It was quite a challenge, and I spent the whole morning getting enough curls to fill this tiny bowl! I think I got the hang of it now, though :)

  However do you get your ideas, Marie? This is a wonderfully creamy image--love the tones! You must have quite an assortment of dishes and table linens :)
