Totoro Bento

After watching Totoro recently I decided to make a Totoro bento box for a contest Adventures in Bentomaking is hosting right here: http://adventuresinbentomaking.com/ Go and vote there for your favorite!

This is my fist character bento box so it was hard @@;;
Here is the description I wrote to describe all the components of the box:

The Totoros are hand-shaped onigiris with tuna inside. The big totoro has water chestnut eyes with a dot of nori in the middle. The mouth is made of swiss cheese with nori cutouts. The ears thinly sliced carrots covered in noti (for the big one) and a slice of swiss cheese for the small one. The big totoro is in the forest (hence the broccoli and parsley trees, edamame pebbles, baby corn fireflies and mushrooms) The tiny totoro is kinda like in a crop field. Starting with (bottom to top) red bell pepper, carrots, swiss cheese flowers, baby corn, shelled edamame, cherry tomato, totoro covered with the leaf umbrella (parsley), water chestnut flowers with carrot dot in the middle, a sliced strawberry.


*** I did not draw that picture of Totoro there, I only made and arranged the food on the bento :3
