Folding Trees

I have been having cranes flying into my inbox this week, how very exciting!! Here are the first 2 cranes submitted by Folding Trees readers.

Crane number 0009 is made from a keynote brainstorming sheet by Joe Richards from Canada. Joe also runs summer camps so hopefully we can see a whole bunch of them later this year folded by the kids that are enjoying the camp.

Crane 0010 was folded by Angela , she lives in Germany. Here is what she says about her Crane:

“Although I don’t have much experience with origami, I wanted to contribute a peace crane for your project, I hope you like it. Of course it’s made from recycled paper – it was a pamphlet of a carpet shop before. Because of that I placed the crane on my mouse pad, which looks like a little carpet.

I took the picture in my garden – for me the most peaceful place to be.”

For more information on the 1000 Paper Cranes project have a look here. Or if you would like to see the cranes that have been folded so far go and have a look at the Flickr set.
