The One Thousand Origami Cranes Legend is an Ancient Japanese legend that promises that anyone who folds a thousand paper cranes will be granted eternal good luck and/or inner peace.

I find origami to be a soothing process. It allows me to shut off my mind and focus only on the intricate movements and folds. It is almost like a form of meditation. Nothing matters except creating a little bird out of this sheet of paper.

As a supplemental visual aid to upcoming lessons that involve Japanese culture I wanted to fold as many paper cranes as I could, given the time restraints, and combine them into a visual, physical collection which manifested in the form of a mobile.

I started my project weeks before the due date by folding little paper cranes everywhere I went. It became an everyday occurence to see me with my stack of paper surrounded by cranes.

After folding a large amount of cranes (I did not hit 1000, but I am still going). I had to take my little beauties and make something out of them. I began the mobile process by starting with an embroidery hoop.

Next I had to attach strings to each of my cranes. I did this with a needle and thread.

Now I had to begin attaching them to the hoop...

It was pretty tedious...

And took a lot of patience...

But the hard work and multiple finger calluses paid off...
