YouTube: Sadako’s Cranes
I received an e-mail from Leonie Connellan with the link to the beautiful YouTube film you can watch above.
This is what she wrote:
I study printmaking at RMIT University in Melbourne and also take a class in animation. Back in 2006, when I was in my first year, I made my first ever animated short film. It was about Sadako Sasaki and the paper cranes, and I called it “Sadako’s Cranes”
Thank you so much for contacting me Leonie, I absolutely loved your film!

1000 Paper Cranes
It has been a busy week with many new cranes flying into my inbox (eve@foldingtrees.com) and a new one by me. I love to read all your stories about the cranes it makes them so special to me.
Crane 0014 comes from Lima in Peru (South America) and was folded by Elsa. As you can see her crane is floating in the pool and I agree completely; what a wonderful peaceful place…!
Crane 0015 was folded by Karen from Vanilla scraps who lives in Canberra Australia. This is what she tells me about her crane
“I photographed my crane (the inside of a security envelope) in one of the parks by the lake in Canberra. It is called Lennox Gardens, it was going to be called the Nara Peace Park (Nara being Canberra’s twin city) but due to politics (last PM, don’t ask…), and has some lovely memorials here.”
Crane 0016 was sent to me by Nancy from floating ink who lives in . Here is the story about her crane
“This crane (folded from a tiny piece of rice paper) in a shadow box is the last page/inner back cover of a handmade book (my retelling of the crane wife tale) that I made for a friend last week before I saw your
call for cranes. More pictures of the book are posted on my blog floating ink
Crane 0017 was folded by me this afternoon, I took the picture at work on top of some feature lights with big patterns on them. It was folded from a very dark purple and black advertising I found in an old magazine that was in the recycling box.
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.

1000 Paper Cranes
I have just come back from our little family get-away to Australia’s very pretty Gold Coast and found these 3 cranes for the 1000 paper cranes project in my inbox. I am delighted to have you helping me with my project ladies.
Crane 0011 was folded by Melanie from Sugarlemon she lives in Melbourne, Australia (love the pics of the kangaroos on your blog!) The crane is made from the inside of a security envelope and photographed in a nearby bushland reserve, which is a favourite peaceful place of Melanie.

1000 Paper Cranes
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.”
