Ewww.Be sure to press the prosciutto down into the nose and lips.I used the edge of a spoon to emphasize the outline of the lips. I think that made it extra life-like.The next time I make this, I might download a photo of the musculature of the face, and try to copy that with the prosciutto. Because that's how I roll.
