IDIOMS : A new series
It started because I was working on my website. I typed out the phrase “straight from the horses mouth” on my RAVES section, and then realized…”I don’t even know what that means.”
So I Googled it.
And I came across a page with a huge list of idioms. You know, phrases like “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” and “we’re all in the same boat” and “a chip on your shoulder.” Every idiom I read, I saw a photo. Then I remembered that an artist that I love (yes, Deyber, for all you Tigner fans), does something like this. I realized that he paints phrases, or words, and does interpretive paintings of them. What I want to do with my photo series is photos of what the idiom literally says, not what is means. Along with this, I’ve decided I want people in every photo. This will make each photo more personal, and, more of a challenge for half the idioms I’ve come across. I love english. I love photos. Why not put them together?
So, here is my first idiom photo. Read between the lines.
I love it!
What a neat idea! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
this is awesome! great idea! you know you are an artist when you have projects like this.
oooOOoooooh I love this!
it’s like a rebus puzzel but in photo form! makes me happy!
How fun! This is a cute idea.
Some friends and I were just listing idioms the other day! I’m showing this to one (she covered idioms with her reading class last week…) and I am so excited to all of the awesome photos that will come from this inspiration… yay!

Thanks for the kind words! You rock, but you know that.
I did a photo project of idioms, it was soo much fun. i did ones like “Apple of my eye”, “have your cake and eat it too”, “bend over backwards”, “Cross your fingers”, “at the drop of a hat”, “when pigs fly”, “Dont put all your eggs in one basket”. It was a blast to try to come up with the ideas behind the photos. I wish you luck on this project. please post the end result!!
