Crane count

Since my origami paper came in, I have been busily folding away. Things started out a little rough, with my first crane looking pretty sad, but I'm happy to report things are going much better. As of five minutes ago, I've folded 32 cranes. So, 968 to go.

This morning the cranes and I had a photo shoot. Here is a sampling of their internet debut:







More can be seen on my flikr page.

Kudos: I have to give props to this guy (RobH0629), whose excellent video taught me how to fold cranes. Seriously, if you are at all interested in origami, subscribe to him on Youtube.

If you're bored and looking for something to do, may I suggest checking out The Wedding Chicks today? They're featuring some pretty cool wedding stationary (actually, it's pretty cool regardless of your marital status).

You can even design your very own nautical themes monogram, complete with nifty anchor.



Everything featured today is courtesy of Posh Paperie, which I am now obsessed with. Anyway, thought I'd share. My origami paper came in, so I am currently learning how to fold paper cranes. It's friggin' hard, ya'll. 1 down, 999 to go!
