Object Proverbs

I never imagined I could love threaded words and shadowed people so much. The collection of "object proverbs" by Lasanta are wonderful. The images and actions re-create a popular Catalan saying. Clever right? I wonder what kind of everyday sayings we could imagine in form?

Just the ideas to get us started for the week...

  1. these are so cool, LOVE the threaded words with red ribbons tied into little bows, teams up with the white words so well, would look equally as good with some thing like "love love love" or "happy happy happy"...
