Description Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes.

inspired by 's contest.

actual size of the crane: wingspan 9mm, length (head to tail) 8mm, and height (bottom to top of tail) 5mm.

That was quite hard to make but so worth it.

No, I did not use tweezers to make the crane.

thanks for the DD ^hellfirediva and thanks for all the favs everyone!

I've made one slightly larger than it. I can really appreciate just how much work goes into one that small. Very good work, since it's really nice and neat...

i know personally how hard it is to fold one of these cranes at this scale...had to use a toothpick and later a large needle just to make the folds correctly...need to make another one...might help me focus on something positive for a change...

It is like the crane is sittin on a pond and the finger prints represent the ripples in that pond. Lovely

Aimiya [2008-09-27 02:36:06 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, I used to make paper cranes out of half a piece of Starburst wrapper, but I've never made one that small. When it's that small, it looks so.... epic. Which is quite a contradiction XD

Saa....I remember reading that book in grade four....I tried so hard to remember the name of the book but couldn't, so after reading this, I now know the name again, so I'm going to look for the book!
Good job on the crane! I make those tiny ones so often! I remember my first one......what a B to make....I know how you feel though! It's an awesome feeling!
