""Last night, while saying goodby to my last folded origami-Santa, the presumed empty sack suddenly moved. To both our big surprise an origami-crane emerged ;-))""
In Japanese folklore, cranes are said to live a thousand years. Because of this, an origami crane represents a long, healthy life. Cranes are also viewed as symbols of happiness and good luck. According to legend, if one thousand paper cranes are folded, it is said that one's wish will be granted. After the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the origami crane also became a symbol of peace and nonviolence.
I wish it was possible to give you all a folded origami-crane (origami Tsuru), but I have to do this way.
I want to thank you for your friendship and support throughout the year. Your appreciation and comments are a motivation to go on. I'm also happy I can share the joy of origami with you.
I wish you all a very joyful and happy Xmas or very joyful and happy Holidays with your beloved ones. Enjoy ;-))

“Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.”
Quote – Barbara Kingsolver
Wishing all the mothers in the world a very Happy Mother's Day.
I came across this lovely origami-crane(s) model "Generations", and besides it is an interesting model to fold, it also symbolize motherhood (for me).
It is folded from one piece of 'Anett'-paper, 37,5x37,5cm, which is thin and strong enough, you have many layers.
Final size about 19cm (wing point to wing point), about 12cm (from tail to beak) and the height is about 7cm.
Model: Generations
Design: Robert J. Lang

The origami crane is a powerful reminder of the human capacity for peace, hope, and renewal, even in the face of adversity.
I used one sheet of gold/silver wrapping paper (50x50cm) to fold this crane. It makes a nice table decoration.
Final size: height 9cm, length about 17cm

One thousand origami cranes
The crane is a mystical or holy creature in Japan and is said to live for a thousand years. That is why one thousand origami cranes (千羽鶴, senbazuru, literally: 'one thousand cranes') are made, one for each year. In some stories, it is believed that the cranes must be completed within one year and they must all be made by the person (or group of people) who will make the wish at the end.
Origami crane - 3cm
"Origami paper is used to fold origami, the art of paper folding. The only real requirement of the folding medium is that it must be able to hold a crease, but should ideally also be thinner than regular paper for convenience when multiple folds over the same small paper area are required (e.g. such as would be the case if creating an origami bird's "legs", "feet", and "beak")".
"Le papier origami est utilisé pour plier l'origami, l'art du pliage du papier. La seule exigence réelle du support pliant est qu'il doit être capable de contenir un pli, mais qu'il devrait, dans l'idéal, être plus mince que le papier ordinaire pour des raisons de commodité lorsque plusieurs plis sur la même petite surface de papier sont nécessaires (par exemple, comme cela serait le cas si la création d'un oiseau d'origami, d'une "pièce" et d'une "pièce" d'origami)."

I want to wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day, with this lovely origami "Crane in Love" by Elsje van de Ploeg.
Love is in the air, they say.......every day should be Valentine’s Day!!!
In Japan, the crane is a mystical creature and is believed to live for a thousand years. As a result, in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean culture, the crane represents good fortune and longevity. The Japanese refer to the crane as the “bird of happiness”. The wings of the crane were believed to carry souls up to paradise. Mothers who pray for the protection of the crane’s wings for their children will recite the prayer:
“O flock of heavenly cranes
cover my child with your wings.”
Elsje van de Ploeg departed from our material world in 2014. But for all of her Ori- and ELFA-friends, she will forever be with them. The memory of the numerous messages exchanged by snail-mail over the years, and the manifold treasures that she was always keen to share, spread and teach, will forever bear the mark of her benevolence.
Elsje’s journey in origami is essentially linked to the Envelope and Letter-Fold Association (ELFA), of which she was a founding member alongside John Cunliffe and Thoki Yenn, back in 1988.
This website is still open and worthwhile to visit! You find many examples of how to fold letters and envelopes, all easy models ;-)
One could easily attach a pin behind this model and then you have a lovely little brooch.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
Found an old origami crane hanging around the house today and figured it would make for a decent photo of the day.
Turns out I forgot to account for the wind and the cat and I ended up turning a very simple photo into hard mode.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

These are 5 Cranes made from Post-it notes.
A crane is seen as a "bird of happiness” My son has made more than 300 already and wants to fold 1000 cranes and give it to a hospital. Those 1000 cranes symbolize hope and healing during difficult times.

In grade 4 at primary school, I fell in love with my Student Teacher. She was very young, kind, gentle and funny, in contrast to the “very old” male teacher I had at the time. I spent alot of time with her and she taught me how to make Origami cranes. I guess that was well over 40 years ago and I have never forgotten how to make them. I make them often and find it very therapeutic, turning serviettes and other bits of paper into cranes and leaving them on tables in restaurants and giving them to friends when they need cheering.
Sadako Sasaki is the famous young girl who developed acute leukaemia 10 years after being exposed to radiation during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Inspired by the age-old Japanese belief that anyone who makes 1,000 origami cranes will see their wish come true, Sadako spent her last days folding paper cranes on her hospital bed in the hope she would recover.
Less known are Sadako’s friends and classmates who, at Sadako’s wake in 1955, swore an oath before her cremated remains that they would build a monument in her honour. Their efforts sparked a children’s peace movement and fundraising campaign that swept through Japan and transformed the origami crane into an international symbol of peace. The Unity Club still meets regularly, more than 60 years after Sadako’s death. Roughly 10 million paper cranes are sent to the Children’s Peace Monument each year on which the message of peace and hope are spread on the wings of the crane.
One of the highlights of my visit to Hawaii Pearl Harbour Museum was to see one of the original cranes made by Sadako.
A symbol of Peace and Hope

I just received a vintage lens that I bought from Japan via eBay. It is a Canon 50mm f1.2 lens. It came with an origami crane - I used it together with some candles for this test shot. As you can see the lens is very soft wide open, and reasonably sharp in the center. Outside the center one can see chromatic aberration and a soft blur on bright objects. Depending on your taste this is nice or not so nice. I kind of like it, it gives the scene a personal touch.
I am looking forward to some more testing. I am wondering how this the lens performs not wide open, say at 2.8, and how portraits turn out with it.
This lens is not too big, has lots of glass, and is very heavy. In fact it weights more than my camera. Both together are 720 grams, camera body alone is 330 grams. This lens has pretty much the same size like the extended 16-50mm kit lens.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully pulled the curves.

Miho folded 1,400 origami cranes to raise money for Japan. They're being exhibited at the Hayward Gallery, but that's a lot of stringing up to do first:
www.timeout.com/london/shopping/event/236749/this-is-not-...
my most essential art, which is not that of writing but the domestic art of knowing how to wait, to conceal, to save up crumbs, to reglue, regild, change the worst into the not-so-bad, how to lose and recover in the same moment that frivolous thing, a taste for life.
- sidonie-gabrielle colette
So I did another picture like this recently where I used blue origami cranes, but, like the disorganized person I tend to be, I saved over the high res file before backing it up and...voila...no more blue origami crane photo. I was really upset about it given that I had created it out of love and wanted to be able to do more with it in the future.
But then I started thinking about how silly it is to be upset over something that could be recreated. Instead of exactly recreating the image, I decided to find new inspiration in that prop and go a different direction, this time with more story behind it and more meaning for me. I still love the other picture, but this one feels new and fresh, and even cathartic. I love creating so much, and I find inspiration in how love can conquer any negative feeling, be it fear, pain, suffering, anger...
Such is my approach to life. When something goes wrong, I react as I would. But shortly after I remind myself of all the beauty in darkness, and how, if we allow ourselves to be inspired even in the darkest of times, we will be. Inspiration is everywhere if you know learn how to see it.
I hope that the Flickrverse is happy and inspired today. I'm off to check streams and be inspired!
None but ourselves can free our minds.

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." - David Viscott
-----
Went ahead this morning and shot early while the sky was brightly illuminated in a shade of orange; I didn't have a lot of time to shoot or plan anything out, but the light inside the house was too pretty to pass up... and it feels like it's been a while since a crane made an appearance on my stream.
Plus, the sun went and disappeared on me throughout the day, so that's an added bonus that I decided today was the day to shoot before heading out.
It was an insane day in the office, seems the majority of support staff were either on vacation or out sick so I ended up supporting a lot of sections I don't usually work with.
But that made Monday soar by quickly, so not a bad thing at all.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

From Wikipedia:
Sadako Sasaki, (January 7, 1943 - October 25, 1955) was a Japanese girl who lived near Misasa Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Sadako was only two years old on August 6, 1945 when she became a victim of the atomic bomb.
At the time of the explosion Sadako was at home, about 1 mile from ground zero. By November 1954, chicken pox had developed on her neck and behind her ears. Then in January 1955, purple spots had started to form on her legs. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with leukemia, which her mother referred to as "an atom bomb disease." She was hospitalized on February 21, 1955 and given, at the most, a year to live.
On August 3, 1955, Chizuko Hamamoto - Sadako's best friend - came to the hospital to visit and cut a golden piece of paper into a square and folded it into a paper crane. At first Sadako didn't understand why Chizuko was doing this but then Chizuko retold the story about the paper cranes. Inspired by the crane, she started folding them herself, spurred on by the Japanese saying that one who folded 1,000 cranes was granted a wish. A popular version of the story is that she fell short of her goal of folding 1,000 cranes, having folded only 644 before her death, and that her friends completed the 1,000 and buried them all with her. This comes from the book Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. An exhibit which appeared in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum stated that by the end of August, 1955, Sadako had achieved her goal and continued to fold more cranes.
Though she had plenty of free time during her days in the hospital to fold the cranes, she lacked paper. She would use medicine wrappings and whatever else she could scrounge up. This included going to other patients' rooms to ask to use the paper from their get-well presents. Chizuko would bring paper from school for Sadako to use.
During her time in hospital her condition progressively worsened. Around mid-October her left leg became swollen and turned purple. After her family urged her to eat something, Sadako requested tea on rice and remarked "It's good." Those were her last words. With her family around her, Sadako died on the morning of October 25, 1955..
