But I am VERY amatuer compaired to some people! Check out www.cookingcute.com, her stuff is truly awe-inspiring.
I love the idea behind bento. A nutrious meal on the go, that is pleasing to the eye, as well as the stomach.
Here are a few of my old bento creations.
My second and cutest! A pirate themed bento box. Bottom tier, steamed short grain rice, with "sand" made from toasted sesame, nori stars, and a little curry powder. So tasty when mixed into the rice! Chocolate coins make buried treasure, and a little food color used on really clean foam stamps make a cut sun and crab. Middle Tier: Chocolate and mint fudge, next to that is more baby corn and almond slivers, a sliced up mini cheese wheel (That's the red) bluberries, more candied papaya, and a koala's march cookie. One pineapple gummy in package. TOP tier: A delicious stir fry with these neat noodles I got at the asian mart, crab and bamboo shoots, topped with sesame, almonds, and a nori skull and cross bones.
Left to right, clockwise: A yummy mochi cake filled with red bean paste! YUM! Gummies (kiwi and pineapple, I'm obsessed) and wasabi peas. I love the burn. The next section is filled with chicken ticka masala, topped with 2 fried spinach cheese puffs, and some cilantro. Next a baby cheese wheel, two caramel filled hershey kisses, and some fresh red declicious apple slices and organic fruit gummies. A delightful bed of curry flavored couscous with several picks of steamed edameme on top! Oh my goodness this was such a good dinner!
My boyfriends version of the last dinner! This was the box I made to cater to his tastes. Green container, my beloved fruit gums, and mini cheese wheel. Fresh sliced asian pear with organic fruit chews, and lady fingers filled with nutella. Mmmyum. Blue container: Chicken Tikka Masala Cilantro for garnish. Yellow container: Curry Couscous with sushi grass as garnish, little nori flower cutouts, and grape tomatos made into little flowers. Looks like a garden, yeah? I love the colors on this one!!!
I have a lot more, but these are the ones that were particularly tasty and or pretty. :3

Wow!! Very nice!
I like the bento concept too... great for portion control! But I'm no where *near* as creative as you are. Great themes!
