"Ornithological" Origami?

Back when I was contemplating signing on to do the Alphabet Challenge, this little piece caught my eye where it sits on my shelf nearby. I thought, "If I can captue 'O', the rest should fall into place!" I might have been dilusional to think this would be easy, but I was hooked!

An important friend in my life made me this crane, atop an Origami box, for a past birthday. I have to add that she's an incredible artist who can create little masterpieces in miniature, as well as distinctive artists journals. Someday I hope she'll be tempted into the 365 community as well!

I love this! I was given a little Origami book this past Christmas. I would love to learn how to do this. I'm sure I don't have the patience for it though. Nice photo!

"Q"...whoa! Let's not get ahead of ourselves! (ooohhh...that is coming up sooner than I thought!...)

[Renee Nielsen]

Very pretty! I used to make origami when I was younger. This got me itching to start again!

[Andrea Freeman]

Nice photo and touching story. I am quite partial to Oragami especially after reading Sadako and 1000 cranes ( I think that's the title but it was about 30 years ago I read the book!)

[Christie]

great picture and I like the book as background! Good stuff!!

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]
