1000 Paper Cranes

Hi all,

Thank you for having so much patience with me over the last couple of months. The Paper Crane project has been a little quiet but we are still going.

Crane 0022 was folded by Angela Gaida from Germany. Here is a copy of what she writes about her crane:

“The Paper is recycled from a calendar I am developing for myself; the very first page I printed came out the wrong way, so I couldn’t use it, but I still could make a crane of it. You can see the “1″ for January 1st on its wing. 

As for the peaceful surrounding: I took the picture in my homemade desktop photo studio, which is veeeery peaceful, since I don’t use it quite as much as I thought I would when I set it up. I think that counts for peaceful, doesn’t it? ;-)

You can find her blog here.

Crane 0023 was folded by Monica Riley, she made her crane from a papertowel that was stepped on. Love the creativity!

Crane 0024 was folded by Elsa Gygax. Lovely picture of the crane sitting in between the flowers!

I wanted to leave you with some links to other people’s blogs who are also folding 1000 peace cranes this year – go and have a look and cheer them on ok?!

Omg! I really loved your idea! I’ve heard Sadako’s story before and also started folding cranes on my own after that, but I’ll definately fold a special one for your project! Just need to decide a nice place to take a picture of it ;)
