1000 Cranes 3 days ago

i am doing this specifically for a wish to come true, but I plan to also give them away as a symbol of hope with a quote in each crane for encouragement to children, the sick, random tourist and people in union square new york, friends, and finally family. i started today tuesday july 7,2009 and i am planning to be done before september.

Protection 3 days ago

I will be making a thousand paper cranes starting Nov. 2, 2009.

On Nov. 2, 2009 my boyfriend is leaving for the marines. There is a 60% chance he will be stationed in Afghanistan. He will remain on active duty for 5 years. With each passing day I realize how helpless I am to stop death. I cannot deactivate a land mine Caleb’s car may run over. I cannot take a bullet for him.

The only thing I can do is make cranes. Hundreds of cranes with a wish written inside the final midnight blue one.

First 1 week ago

I finally made my first crane. I’ve been trying for the past few weeks, but I kept getting stuck on one step somewhere in the middle. Tonight I found an awesome video that finally helped me understand it. My crane wasn’t perfect, but he’s cute and I like him a lot. I’m going to give him lots of girlfriends and brothers and sisters and friends and… :)



Untitled 2 weeks ago

I’ve so far made 250 cranes. 1/4th of the way done… after almost 7 months! I go in and out of times when I make a lot, and then stop for a long time… Oh well.

Not sure what I’m wishing for yet, but I think when I’m done, I’ll give them away somehow too.

I spent yesterday afternoon in Little Tokyo (LA) and bought some origami paper. I made a couple of cranes and decided to make 1000. Not sure why yet.



Ridiculous Time Frame 1 month ago

I’m going to try and get this done by Friday afternoon or so. That gives me about 4 days. The math works out for it to be possible, but it will be one of the most difficult things I’ve done considering the time frame. I’m trying to get it done for my brother’s wedding. I think it would make a good gift and would be something I would be proud to have done. Wish me luck on my crazy ordeal.

I must be crazy, but then again I love the person that I’m going to give this to a lot. So I hope he will be grateful for all the work I’ve done :)

Started today, goal for today: 50 cranes!
