ver the summer. I wanted to do something worthwhile this summer, and my mom needs a lot of help getting all those cranes folded (you can fold them too!), so that’s what I’m working on it. I like what this project is trying to accomplish, and it will feel good to be able to say that I helped make it happen. My mom first taught me how to fold a crane when I was in elementary school, and I’m happy to say that I’ve gotten a little better at them over the years. In other words, what I fold now actually resembles a crane.
My goal for the summer is to fold at least 1,000 of them – which would be about 25 a day. I’m not just going to be folding cranes though – I would get bored much too quickly, and there’s a ton of stuff that has to get done. I’m going to be stringing cranes, writing for the blog, etc. I’m excited to be a part of this project and I can’t wait to see all the cranes when they’re finished!

I love your website, and thank you so much for your work!
I'm also a crane lady -- that is, last year I folded 1,000 paper cranes as a present, and now I've realized their overall importance in my life as symbols of peace. I am a senior art student, and my graduating show is going to be composed of crane- and peace-related artwork.
I'll be following your blog, and will try to also contribute some folded cranes.
I wish you the best of luck.
thank you. :)
Thanks April! I have added a link to your website, and look forward to seeing images of your crane work....as well as cranes for this project!! I think we could have a convention of "Crane Ladies"....there appears to be a lot of us out there. :-)
Thank you so much! I'll be sure to photograph more of my crane related art soon so it's a bit more worthwhile. :)
I'd like to have some sort of crane exchange before I graduate, so, I'll be sure to keep in touch! :)
