This one isn’t for me, it’s a present for someone. The next one that I make I think I will keep.

I must admit

your challenge has sparked an interest of having a go, not 1000 of course but a couple or 3 :)

P.S

Last week in York I came across a Japanese shop selling all things Japanese (stands to reason!). Hanging in the window they had some origami Cranes and you immediately came to mind. Now you will be forever associated with the great origami Crane making skill ;)

Some

of my cranes are a little less than perfect.

I’d like to see that shop.

Who

is this bearded fellow and where did he come from? He seems a pleasant enough sort but I’d like my not very good photo of my cranes in the Gap bag back. Please:)

I'm

wondering if I should just delete this entry as the beardy chap is still on display. I contacted the so-called robots but they have not deigned to reply. Ah well I suppose I am just a schmoe after all.
