First Bentos

This bento on the left was one of my first ones, from around Sept. '07.  Simple and quick, good for those on the go.  (And for those with a small appetite!)

Used: Wheat bread, carrots, apples.

This one over here on the right was also a more recent one.  I took me but a day to discover the wonder of dividers.  I picked up 10 or 12 of them from a local craft store for ~$10.

Used: Wheat bread, Carrots, Grapes ^^

Still rocking it out with dividers, I opted for a more exciting angle by cutting by grain into star shapes. Lack of color contrast bothers me, however arranging the apples next to each other would have looks worse.

Used: Pancakes, Carrots, Apples.

My style began evolving around here. Still slightly

plain with the partitioning as well as the empty

space gives it a more primitive look.  I used a cookie

cutter to emphasize the red of the apples and to hold

the rice.

Tips: Place like things across from each other and use fun dividers.
