Bentolicious #169
How fast the time is...today is already Friday again. Wish everyone a great weekend ahead! Today I just made a simple snack bento for the kids. Kids will have lunch from school catering today. Mainly used cutters to decorate this bento. Inside the box : egg fried rice, oranges, cucumber, lap cheong Chinese sausage), asparagus, and strawberries. I should put more efforts to decorate the face details but I wasn't really inspired today, so I just used puncher for the details with nori. I separated the egg yolk and the egg white to make the white and yellow egg sheets. I cut it with X-Acto knife and made it in 3 layers this time. Love my tiny heart cutter but actually I made some cut by hand at the top of the heart so you can see the heart shape clearly. Oh well, maybe this bento will be the last Valentine's theme bento if I can't manage to make one more on Monday. Tuesday will be a public holiday here, so I'm planning to have dinner out with the kids on Monday night because hubby will be on the company trip from tonight until Tuesday night.

What a cute elephant bento!
Happy weekend to you and your family too!

@Angeleyes : Thanks a lot Alice!

the baby elephant is soooo cuteee... :D
but my suggestion, try not to put any smile on the face, cause the trunk is cute enough. it's a lil bit less-proportional. try to put only one big happy eyes (like yours, but a lil bit bigger. or...if you still want the smile there, put the smile right at the base of the trunk, a small v-smile looks okay :D

oooooh liaa...but overall, i admire you in every master-pieces you've made. THEY'RE AWWWWEEEESSSOOOOMMEEE :D
