Going Bananas!

 I have a little seam ripper - and I use it to remove misplaced stitches. But a woman called Anna Chojnicka uses hers to draw on bananas! In April 2020, quarantined with covid, she was bored. She started doodling on a banana. 


And discovered an amazing talent. Look at these examples of her work

She decorates one banana day, photographs it, posts on social media...then eats her artwork!
She has raised thousands of pounds for the FareShare food charity with her artworks. Watch this little video...


It is a crazy story, but she is clearly very imaginative. You can see two more BBC videos, here and  here  .I frequently doodle on a banana [or leave a message] using a ballpoint pen - because it feels lovely to do that [try it] But I have never used my stitch ripper to draw something beautiful.

  1. Something new every day! I've never even used a ballpoint on a banana. I wonder if she is (or will become) an artist using more permanent canvases?
