Soap and glycerin bubble, reflected in a scrim. Cropped into Bookmark shape.
Just incredible on black. Oh my! A new term for me, “bookmark”. I’ve been meaning to ask you if you have see Green Renaissance’s One Thousand Cranes with Kyoko? It’s so beautiful.

@louannwarren -- that's a beautifully created film with wonderful metaphors. When I was a teen, my father was ill so I folded 1000 cranes not realizing he had cancer because in Japan, the patient is not told -- and therefore nobody else is told other than the spouse. My father died, and I gave the strings of cranes away. But now, decades later, I see thousands of cranes being presented in memory of those who have passed, and I see the cathartic sense. Thanks for sharing this film with me. I tried to find a photo of the Sadako statue in Hiroshima covered with cranes, but instead I had posted a photo of the cranes Sadako herself had folded: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2016-08-04

Had to google scrim! Very pretty image, like a swirling constellation many light years away from earth.
And your story above is very moving.

Oh @jyokota, your story is beautiful and your Sadako post is exquisite. Thank you so much for sharing. I can see how cathartic making the 1,000 cranes would be. It’s wonderful that tradition has not died.
