The 'Eyes for Christmas' Tumblr Brings to Life Everyday Inanimate Objects

People say eyes are the windows to the soul, but in the case of the Eyes for Christmas Tumblr, eyes give these objects souls. A project coming from Amsterdam’s XTOTL, the blog animates objects that are simply overlooked every day.

From garbage bins to towel paper dispensers, the things given a pair of eyes on the blog vary in shape, size and subject matter but share the commonality of being used on a daily basis. The premise of the Eyes for Christmas Tumblr is that objects can transform immediately with just a pair of eyes. Who knew a dirty garbage can on the street could look so sarcastic and cynical?

Take a look at the Eyes for Christmas Tumblr and the next time you throw something out, the disposal may just look at you a little differently.
