The Menagerie
I spent the weekend folding origami animals and cranes for my contribution to this week's Iron Craft challenge. I am making a garland for the Baby Lotus Bud's room.
Lions, giraffes and elephants...Oh my! These come with the fold pattern on the paper which made them fairly easy to make.

When I was pregnant I made a bunch of cranes to hang from the ceiling of the nursery. I didn't realize that I had chosen the more difficult pattern: the peace crane. So much for making a 1000 cranes.
These here are much easier to make and supposedly you can tug on the tail and they will flap their wings. 1000 cranes just may happen sometime soon!

As of today, I'm still folding. I have about 30 more to go for the garland. Wish me luck!
