Tina - the peanut project

I had heard of projects like this where you draw an object from feel, then you draw it without looking at what you're drawing, then you can both look at the object and what you're doing. I first thought that's what we were going to do, but then we gave the peanut a story, a past. The peanut's story and life experience helped with the next questions of it's gender and age, personality traits, and finally the name. After personifying the peanut it was difficult thinking of switching it with another peanut because I ended up describing a person I knew, and to eat it was just out of the question. It's funny to think about not eating a peanut because it reminds of me of someone, but I guess that's what happens when you personify anything into something familiar.
