Appreciate it muchlies :D @ness Of course you may! Please do, we're all in this to inspire each other, right? The vegetable cutters, I got from a nearby Japanese grocery. There are some on ebay but they're a bit pricier, having ebay prices. :( @toni And this one goes FISHIEEEEEEE! @Michael Well, you can always use more than one, or get a bigger box :D I hope you don't let the size of the box stop you from packing lunches. @Tom Baker Thank you so much! Somebody else won, but it's all right. I was happy enough to be a Finalist (and get a free trip to Singapore. XP) @Angela You're so right! I'm not an artist so in my case, it helps a lot to look at simple picture books and at other people's creations. But when you really think about it, they all go back to basic shapes, don't they? @Mrs. G

When there is a bear, what shapes make it? Usually three circles, one larger than the other two. So to use these basic shapes in food, we need to understand very elementary drawing/sculpting designs. I think your dragon creation is excellent, and I would have never though of something like that. When I see a dragon, it is hard for me to dissect the beast into its fundamental shapes. Your designs are simple yet very creative. Good job!
