Fruit inspired fashion and fruit inspired art are two things we’re big fans of here at the EatAChiquita.com blog. You can imagine our excitement when we found a fruit inspired artist, Cathy Wu, who’s merged art and fashion by creating beautiful jewelry from real dried fruits.

Pretend for me, if you will, that there is a massive war raging inside your body. Imagine little elves and dwarfs fighting alongside man, fending off hoards of monsters and evil wizards night and day.
