All I could see was a piece of bread.
A piece of bread indeed! We like how straightforward it is. Well, where should we start eating from?

He can hang, push, and finish! The hydraulic shovel is the best sumo wrestler!
Grand Sumo Tournament for mighty machine. We bet the shovel will win them all. The bowlful of salt in the bucket is daring! What a fun piece!

Comment:
I thought it would be cute if there was a hydraulic shovel that was good at sewing. It is a girly hydraulic shovel that can do needlework as it lifts and carries heavy things. She even puts some makeup on her face.
The hydraulic shovel is very crafty. If it ever tries needlework, it will be good at it just like seen in the painting here. The operator, Nin Nin obviously has a good taste. Look how elaborately and stylishly the body and small parts are colored.

Long ago. There was a forklift princess of Simon bamboo. She collected bamboos from the hills and fields and delivered happiness to everybody.
The forklift princess stood out with a strong personality among all of the submissions. The concept and powerful expression of transforming the forklift into the world of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter are brilliant.

For the tough world, I wanted to imagine I discovered treasure! Wishing happiness to all of you.
A beckoning cat and the beckoning shovel that scoops treasure. If there is such hydraulic shovel, we want it by all means! We feel the love of the artist in the last comment. You're very kind.

I did my best!
It is the work of healing to make you imagine sitting in the terrace of the garden surrounded with the green. I wonder who lives in the green hydraulic shovel in the cage. Is it a fairy? Or is it a dwarf? A nice touch with the red flower too.
