I’m extremely jealous of this book

Interesting

A fun morning @snowfloe.bsky.social thank you

Love the crane and the sentiment

999 origami cranes strung and displayed in a large wooden frame. Next to this is a smaller square frame containing the last square needed to make the senbazuru

A really original way of displaying a 1000 cranes. Myles custom built the inside of the 120 x 70 cm frame to create a dual shadow box. 500 strung cranes are on display at the front while 499 are hidden at the back. Myles has left the last crane unfolded so the owner of the wish can remain open.

many of you would fold in this situation ....

They’re great Matthew. That book keeps popping up on my Amazon home page. I’m very tempted.

A lovely collection. I have enjoyed the origami, the photos and of course Stanley.

I can’t stop watching this mesmerising film. It looks so real youtu.be/X0hyTmlsBUI?...

Some beautiful designs here Linda modelled so well by Stanley

To those saying “It’s not the Brexit I voted for”, you voted for an impossible fantasy, sold to you by grifting gobshites with no interest in reality or what was actually possible. You got exactly what you voted for.

A beautiful idea. I hope a bit of peaceful folding time helps x

Ah got it. I think you have the valley fold creases going to the corner but they need to go to the mid point between the lower corner and the start of the colour change

This looks great but I am totally stumped on how you get from step 6 to step 7

How beautiful is this?

Happy penguin awareness day

It looks like you got there with victory crane 1, looks great. Stanley is such a beautiful colour.

Hi Lizzie welcome to Bluesky. It’s nice here.

Thank you, it was fun though if I do it again I must get better organised to start with.

A mind blowing amount of beautiful folding here

Really pretty. The book paper looks great.

I know exactly what Helen means 🤣 I’m also a big fan of rabbit ear folds.

These are absolutely smashing. I’m sorry Stanley didn’t appreciate them though 🙀
