Edible Art 2

Whatever Annikki says or does it has a touch of art.

Annikki did  pencil sketches, crayon and chalk paintings, 

Annikki designed house interiors,

 Annikki designed gardens, 

Annikki  designed cakes, 

Annikki designed children's education courses.

One friend once said that coming to our house was like coming to a personal museum! Not mine, but Annikki’s!

Another facet of Annikki which I highlight today is how she designed the way she served  food to me with a great touch of artistic humour.

She had an eye for art. For instance, when she saw this piece of ginger, she came running to show it to me!

When she was preparing salted salmon, our very traditional daily breakfast, she made these types of creations showing her amazing artistic touch.

Salted  salmon as a "butterfly".

Salted salmon as a Christmas tree,

 

Salted salmon as a bush!

Breakfast was always fun as Annikki would create a fun shape breakfast plate of healthy tasty stuff.

Fried egg and bread as a butterfly.

Eggs, tomatoes, toast, sausages as an art creation.

Paprika, eggs, toast as an art creation.

And she mixed her art as with the crochet work she created.

Sweets are sweeter from a crocheted basket

Eggs arrive in a crocheted basket

Sharon fruit are tasty from a crocheted basket and it comes along with the turtle!

Tomatoes are stored in a crocheted basket!

Crocheted duck carries the eggs

This was delicious! Anyone guess what it was?

Annikki was always surprising the family with the art she turned up with literally everywhere. 

I have shown just a few examples, but she always had something interesting and new for the children and me, even if it was just a cup of tea!

Life with Annikki for 56 years has been one roller coaster of fun! Amazing personality.
