Some Time Ago I Challenged Myself To Create An Origami Crane Every Day For 1000 Days (New Pics)
After having folded and decorated origami cranes daily for 1000 consecutive days (see my previous post on Bored Panda), I took a short break, but I could not stop creating new ones, even though no longer on a daily basis.
I am allowing myself to explore more themes and techniques, and to find inspiration in even more places.
These are some of my latest creations. Some are inspired by things like Greek mythology and Japanese folklore, while others come from the joy of nature, or personal experiences.

okay, question- after he made 1000 of these things, what the actual hecky dizzle did he do with them? first of all they probably take up a lot of space considering there's 1000 of them but also they're so delicate so they have to be placed in somewhere safe. I AM CONFUSION

They confer good luck - oh and typically contain cash for wedding gifts or New Year gifts.

I did a similar project for my sick friend. She had lung cancer and was told she did not have long to live. I had just read Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes and got everyone I knew to start making paper cranes. For her birthday we hung up the cranes in her room while she went out for dinner with her family. She lived despite what the doctors said and she thinks it is because of the 1000 paper cranes

As I understand it - Origami is the art of folding a single sheet of paper into a complex three dimensional shape or figure - no cutting. Have had an origami frog bought from a street seller for 20 years. Have resisted the urge to unfold and work out how it was done.

I think probably magic because it's obviously impossible.

These are astounding. I think he should be selling photos of them. Perhaps better without his hands. A clip would do it.

The color choices, the variety of designs, the intricacy of the cuts...I had to up-vote them all! These are too fantastic to pick an overall favorite. These are all so delicate and beautiful. My soul lightened two shades after seeing these.
