I took a break from the studio and visited a farm near Stillwater for some berry picking with friends. Turns out I’m a mutant magnet, finding triplets and bivalves that look more like an Everlasting Gobstopper than a strawberry. I was trumped by my friend Gretchen who found a mitten.
That is very cool!
I thought I was the only one who found those and just ate them while thinking, oh, well, if the strawberries are misformed it is in the right mouth! Followed by a gleeful laugh!
So, how cute would it be to design a nice plump mitten that looked like a strawberry, complete with green calyx cuff? And the cord that you string up the through the child's sleeves could be the stem!
Then, as the idea goes amok, how about a bunch of bananas as a glove…sorry, I'll go have another cup of coffee.
