After having folded and decorated origami cranes daily for 1000 consecutive days (see my previous post on Bored Panda), I took a short break, but I could not stop creating new ones, even though no longer on a daily basis.

I am allowing myself to explore more themes and techniques, and to find inspiration in even more places.

These are some of my latest creations. Some are inspired by things like Greek mythology and Japanese folklore, while others come from the joy of nature, or personal experiences.

Then there's me trying to make a paper airplane .__. You're so good at this! It takes so much patience to do this. Heck, I throw my piece of paper when I can't get it even! :D

Hello Mr. B. Panda 🐼; I am collecting 1000 origami cranes for my daughter Amy ( with well wishes inside) to help raise her spirits while she is being cured of Acute Lymphblastic Leukemia and recovering from a stem cell transplant. Would you be willing to make one of your fantastic crane creations ( with a well wish inside) for my daughter?

This beautiful work is Kirigami (not origami) - Wikipedia: Kirigami (切り紙) is a variation of origami that includes cutting of the paper, rather than solely folding the paper as is the case with origami, but typically does not ... more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirigami

okay, question- after he made 1000 of these things, what the actual hecky dizzle did he do with them? first of all they probably take up a lot of space considering there's 1000 of them but also they're so delicate so they have to be placed in somewhere safe. I AM CONFUSION

How does he make it look like leather but still light weight? Impressive.
