Fruit inspiration at As You Like It

This fortnights challenge at As You Like It Challenge

is hosted by the lovely Sarah

The sponsor of this challenge is

Paper Nest Dolls

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Fruit (you can use its colour as inspiration (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

I found this very hard to choose just one fruit as I eat most fruit
so I have cheated a little as I LOVE blue as many of you know so i have chosen blueberries
as my inspiration and used tones of blue in my Mermaid

Happy Crafting hugs me xx
