Origami
Ralea:
I just use any paper I can get my hands on when practicing, then use colored paper when I'm confident that I have it nailed. And thanks for the Tare Panda diagram! I can now do something complicated to amuse my seatmate when my teacher is giving a boring lecture. :D
Crystal_Wings:
This is so cool! I love origami! I like folding cranes! But butterflies are my favorite.
However, I am trying to fold a thousand cranes for my Aunt Miko. She lives in Japan and she is sick. I Only have about 100 so far though.
I wanted to say something else about the story of 1000 cranes and the girl, Sadako. Every year on August 6-- Peace Day, people place thousands of paper cranes beneath her statue. They make the wish that is engraved on the base of the Statue: This is our cry, this is our prayer; peace in the world.
I wish I could fold a crane just to place beneath her statue. This would make me happy.
I love origami and I would love any diagrams posted here.

I remember that story... I wish I could place some cranes at her statue, too...
I'm making cranes, flowers, butterflies, and stars for my mom for mothers' day coming up...
I still have a long way to go...but I still have some time...
Crystal_Wings, I hope your aunt gets well soon...
also, I'll try to post the story under the "Storytime" thread....
