1000 Cranes

 I found through Caroline at Constantly Evolving, that there is a flickr group folding 1000 cranes for Japan.  If you are unfamiliar with the tradition, in Japan, the folding of cranes is a labor of love.  The crane is a mystical creature that is said to live 1000 years.  When someone has a wish whether it be for health, luck or peace, the folding of cranes is a symbol of the work that will make that wish come true.  The energy coming from a community of so many hands working toward positive thought is uplifting.  If you wish to join in this project, this is a link to the tutorial that I used.
