(51) Music Box Bento
BENTO CONTEST 2011
Name: Victoria
From: Canada
Description:
This bento is my attempt at recreating the lid of a music/jewellery box I have. This box is really important to me because 1) my grandmother bought it for me from a rummage sale last year and 2) because I keep some of my favourite treasures safe in it. :)
The background is a bed of white sushi rice dyed with beet juice and mixed with shredded beets. The tree trunks, sailboat boat frame, and base portion of Mt. Fuji are fried tofu. The tree foliage and bushes are broccoli florets. The darkest piece of land is rehydrated seaweed, and the lighter one is raw and blanched baby spinach. The rocks (in the centre) are made from leftover roast beef. The building is made from orange bell pepper, tamoyaki, and nori. The snow on Mt. Fuji and the sail on the boat are daikon; the clouds at the base of Mt. Fuji and the flowers are shredded daikon (the pink flowers were died with some leftover beet juice).
The box is just a tupperware container. :P
This is my first bento contest/attempt at making a bento this elaborate, so I hope you like it! ^_^
