Last night just before I went to sleep was my first attempt to make an origami crane in many years. The crane was the 13th and the most difficult in a series of progressively difficult paper foldings that I began by making a yellow boat on Christmas Day, with the idea of attempting one folding each day.
My first attempt at folding the crane wasn't quite right, but it was close. I was tired. I photographed it and went to sleep.
Early this morning I learned that today, January 7, would have been the 76th birthday of Sadako Sasaki.
Just now, I made a second attempt and was successful.

Today, January 7, is also my daughter's birthday -- 31 y.o.
Your oragami is fascinating -- I've never tried it and it's always astounding me as a technique, a practice, an art form. Good on you! Looking forward to seeing the next few on your list.
I love that origami crane. We have two cranes that were made for Roger during his chemo treatments almost a decade ago. We love them so much. You make me want to try origami. So beautiful in every way.
Cranes are symbols of peace, so needed now. Love.
I learned how to make the crane when I was a kid. I think I could still do it from memory but it's been a long time since I last tried. yours look pretty good. did you pull the tail to make the wings flap?
ellen abbott -- Interesting about pulling the tail. It only makes the wings flap on the first one I made, which I thought I had done incorrectly (-:
I was looking on YouTube for video instructions for cranes and found that there are at least two ways to make cranes. Looks like I inadvertently made two types of cranes!
