From Crane Album |
Some more of the rainbow cranes in 3 and 1/8 inch paper and 3 and 1/2 inch paper, folded at some ungodly hour of the morning when I couldn't sleep and so resorted to watching some more Monster Quest, instead. I'm beginning to discover this is a good use of those otherwise ridiculously boring hours when I can't sleep.
I did a bunch of stuff and took a nap before I folded any more.

I got all inspired and made the five white ones out of regular paper; they're supposed to represent the five elements in Japanese philosophy. I even pulled out the colored pencils to decorate them. Of course, the other string is just good old 4 inch origami paper, but they're also probably my best string yet.
I don't know if it's the increase in paper size or the fact I've now folded 70 of these, but I'm getting quicker. I'm also getting a bit better, which is definitely good.
Now I'm going out to buy myself a brilliant new selection of paper from the bookstore. I spotted this set of dinosaur paper I really want.
