fold 1000 origami cranes

I folded 4! Just 4. But I did go to the local Hobby Lobby and get some authentic origami paper. I tried making one from a cut piece of paper and it ended up sucking.

So doing something that I like to refer to as math and time keeping, I can make 1 every 5 minutes. But perhaps that is not the point. I mean the journey is supposed to be about patience and not learning to mass produce these things right?

The mind hurts now.

I looked up paper… to see how much 1000 sheets would cost.
One place it will cost ~$70 for 1000 sheets.

More of an investment than I expected. :P
But, I still want to do it. And will.

Maybe I can ask for paper for Christmas. :)

i just tried to fold a paper crane and couldnt figure the fucker out. i feel stupid.

i found a website with instructions and pictures.
i have to clear this goal off to make room for more.

203 as of today. I’ve been making them in the car and before work, but still not as many as I would at school.

Only a month and a week left until school’s back, anyhow.

I still don’t know what I’m going to do with these when I’m finished. They’re not made with origami paper and are all different shapes and sizes, so I can’t really string them up into those beautiful collections.

Maybe I should decorate my ceiling with them.

I haven’t been making making lately, since I have no classes to be bored in.

179 right now.

I have 122.

At my school’s Relay for Life this Friday, I’ll be running a tent where people write something how they’ve been affected by cancer, and I’ll be teaching them how to make paper cranes out of the paper.

CRANE TENT!

I spent last Thursday evening making paper cranes for seniors at the seniors dinner my school’s HOPE committee organizes (a committee of which I am part – the acronym stands for Helping Other People Everywhere).

I also make them at school and give them to people.

The only problem is, how will I know when I’ve reached 1000 if I’m giving them all away?

I do keep some of them, but for the maybe 30+ I’ve made, I have maybe 10 or so in my room.

Making cranes is more fun that it is a goal. I still want to make 1000…presently, however, I see this as a much more long-term goal.

Another nine at work Friday night.
