goose bento 2

the rump end of a Yellow Pear tomato (still trying to get rid of them)

the blue rice from my tutorial

"baby bella" mushrooms

nori with mushroom accent

sesame seed eye, black gel beak

couscous "shoreline", blue-colored pear sauce water

french-cut fresh green beans, uncooked soba "reeds"

my old scarred-up bamboo cutting board, lol

Not only did I have to fit this week's "Iron Bento" theme, but my mom also issued a challenge of her own. For some reason, she wanted me to make a bento featuring a Canada goose. Uh, okay.

Sakurako Kitsa says:

Thanks for the kind comments, everybody!

It was a fun bento to make, once I wrapped my head around the complexities of mushroom-sculpting (I found out...slice the wrong way and the whole thing falls apart).

Moniki, thanks for the mention...and yes, I read French just fine so go right ahead!

First of all, this is amazingly lovely! Second of all, I love it that you know not to call Canada geese "Canadian" geese. ;)
