Confessions of an Idiom

(vimeo link)

What happens when the elephant in the room confronts the skeleton in the closet? That’s far from the only turns of speech that go head-to-head back-to-back in this sequence. Someone who is just learning English would be completely baffled! This award-winning video was made by Amanda Koh and Mollie Helms at Ringling College of Art + Design. -via Metafilter

I had some extra origami paper on hand so I tried it with that. Fantastic! I always wanted to know how to make these bows.

I didn't have any of those brass reinforcement-thingys so I used a thumb tack until it was done, then stapled it. Works great, plus the point is sharp enough to go thru the paper without extra tearing.

Awesome find! Also, great idea about the thumb tack/stapling! I want to try and make some of these when I get home, but I know I don't have any of those brass things!

You weren't kidding about these being addictive...I made tons of them while watching TV last night, I literally had to force myself to stop making them and go to sleep : )
