Hearts, hard-boiled

I have come across a nice method of making heart-shaped egg slices on a
Russian blog. I translated the text; the pictures are here:
.

You need:
1. An egg
2. A clean package (e.g. TetraPak) from milk or juice. (I do not see why
one cannot use just any cardboard which is sturdy enough. VS)
3. A thin wooden skewer (a round one would be best)
4. Rubber bands

Step 1: Cut out a piece of cardboard 8 : 20 cm and fold it lengthwise in
half.

Step 2: Hard-boil an egg.

Step 3: Peel the egg and, while it is still hot, place it in the centre
of the cardboard strip, with the wooden skewer on top of the egg,
attached with the rubber bands at both ends, so that it exerts some
pressure. The egg should be freshly boiled and still hot, otherwise it
will crack under the pressure.

Step 4: Let stand for 10 minutes. (In the summer, put it in the
refrigerator.)

Step 5: Remove the skewer and cut the egg in half.

Those Bento people are crazy. That's where I'd spend my money if I
hit the lotto. My kitchen is fine-- I don't care to go out to eat.
But I'd pay someone to drop off a bento every day. about an hour
before lunch so I can just stare at it for a while. They are just
too creative for my head.

It seems to be a Japanese thing--I think that presentation is more
important to the Japanese than it is in Western cultures. You see
elaborate bento being prepared by mother/spouse/girlfriend/daughter in
Japanese movies and television shows. Occasionally the bento
subsequently comes to grief and Hilarity Ensues. Whether such
preparation accurately reflects Japanese home life or whether it's an
idealization I have no idea.

Then I'll take the time to do some of these. In the meantime-- keep
them coming. [It must satisfy that voice that makes me want to play
