Norma Lyon, arguably...

...the world's most famous butter sculptor, is dead at age 81.

Norma Lyon, a self-described dairy farmer’s wife and mother of nine who achieved fame well beyond the Midwest as the “butter-cow lady” of the Iowa State Fair, sculpturing tons of U.S. Grade AA salted butter each year into life-size figures of cows, famous people and, once, a diorama of the Last Supper, died on Sunday in Marshalltown, Iowa.

That's the legend herself working on a sculpture of Tiger Woods.
