Look what I made!
I make a lot of origami paper cranes. I have always been fascinated by the Japanese theory that by making 1000 cranes in your lifetime you will be granted a single wish (apparently by a crane) and add to this their simplistic beauty. My first one was called Steven and was made in an attempt to win over a young lady - it worked by the way!
In response to a page 3 article in the 'newspaper'
Metro (basically toilet paper available for free on UK public transport) about a woman from China who makes tiny origami, I decided to prove that not only can an origami paper crane be folded smaller than that claimed but in less time (they take me around 10 minutes to her 20 minutes) and with only my bare hands (not tweezers as this woman allegedly uses).
So far the smallest I have made measures 3mm in body height - 1mm smaller.
Only 999 more and maybe I will be granted a tiny wish.
This is amazingly small! Gotta give you some props. The smallest I've made is 5mm in wingspan but at that size I have trouble getting the last fold in. Thanks for sharing. :)
