Simple rolled maki and Onigiri



Something I made for dinner. :3 Very simple to make and quite good.



Bought a huge pack of frozen crab sticks from the supermarket last week, was about time I used them! :D



I rubbed a little wasabi on the crab sticks before I rolled them to add more flavour.



But I ate the maki with soy sauce and some more wasabi anyway.:p



すごくおいしかったよ~~XD

I had more rice to spare so I decided to make onigiri. (Ah, playing with food is fun.:P)



Made these with onigiris from combini in mind.:D



This one was filled with Tuna.:D



Filling of the onigiri I had in Tokyo

Hate that the weekend is over, and dreading the start of another very loooong week of work...=S (Another one of those times when I wish my parents gave me a choice and let me work in a field I was more passionate about, then I would be more enthusiastic about work....=/)

Anyway, spent most of my weekend knitting and now I need more yarn...n_n Did I also mention catching up on some tv dramas.. :D

Oh well, until my next post. ;)

Illustration: Images of Sol, Madrid


I spent some time on this, reviewing my photos and picking out the details. Although I already had an image of what I wanted in mind.



This was it, exactly.

I really love the iconic bear with the tree. XD Originally wanted the Sol Metro Sign in the background but thought it worked better as a frame.:P



Ended up placing the metro entrance and the post office behind it.



My mood board..



Watercolour is actually my least favourite medium, and is something I definitely need to improve on.XD



..

I work best with chalk, and oil pastel. charcoal a little, but too messy for me. (Simply put, quite the opposite of this.XD)

I am quite satisfied with how this turned out in the end though...:3
