Oh, my beary bear is sleeping so soundly.

To make the "bear blanket". Beat one egg with pinch of salt, pepper, sesame oil  until your wrist sore. Heat up the non stick frying pan, add little oil and fry egg till cooked on both side. My beary bear very comfy with his blankie.

Wet your palm with little water, roll 1 ball of rice for the bear head. Roll 2 small circle and attached it to the bear head. Use cheese and dried prunes for the eyes and nose.
Roll another bigger ball of rice and flatten slightly and attached to the head. Roll a thin cylinder shape for the bear hand. Oh, I forgot to make his pillow.Well, sorry my dear bear, next time I make you a nice pillow.

Free hand drawing using tomato sauce and toothpick. So how is my drawing skill, look like young rooster? LOL
