Where to purchase a tiny crane…

A meaningful and inexpensive gift item that symbolizes longevity, good luck, and/or world peace. Handmade in the U.S.A. by artist Stacie Tamaki.

My work area looked like a tiny crime scene 😬 . Experimenting with paint. This was solid white mulberry paper. I want some of my koi to be in classic koi colors so purchased a liquid acrylic and splattered pre-cut, 1” squares. Am very happy with my end result!#mini #tiny #miniature #origami #koi #carp #fish #red #white #japanese #art #craft #diy #messy #splatter #acrylic #paint #origamiinmyhand #tinygami

Can do. That’s my motto. I’d padded and reupholstered seats before (5 layers of cotton batting here) but hadn’t ever re-covered backrests. It was a little tedious and tricky but I figured it out. #diy #cando #solution #refurbished #chair #vintage #furniture #midcentury #atomic #funky #style #retro #fabric #print #pattern #beforeandafter #seaglass #orange #colors

If you believe what they say about wooly bear’s red color band predicting if you’ll have a severe or mild winter... We’re going to have a mild one #Michigan #winter #woolybear #caterpillar #weather #forecast #prediction #folklore #cute #furry #fuzzy

Planning a photo shoot. Just me and a kimono or two. The photographer asked me to send pictures of kimonos to choose from.... Someday I’ll post which ones made the cut 🤔 #vintage #kimono #juban #japanese #culture #origami #artist #choices #decisions #collection #favorites #wardrobe #work #attire

Was looking for a warthog pattern online. Not too many of them out there. This very cute, not too difficult to fold fella is from a @jonakashima video. I had to pause the player more than once but it turned out great! Btw there’s no filter. The strange light pattern came from placing my camera near the swing arm task lamp I was using that evening #origami #warthog #boar #pumbaa #paper #art #craft #animal #africa #lionking #hakunamatata

Fall is coming. My road home. I can create, be happy, and thrive (not just survive) out here ❤️ #autumn #fall #colors #change #trees #treetunnel #transition #peace #quiet #serenity #country #rural #road #life #michigan #nature #beautiful

We all successfully folded Talo Kawasaki’s “Patty Bat” and a murder of traditional crows today at our monthly folding club meetup! It was so much fun. We were a bunch of happy flappers 😊 And thank you @iudexfatarum for teaching the crow. Thank you to everyone who attended and to David for my stellated octahedron ornament, and to Louise for your paper contribution to our paper stash we share as needed #origami #paper #folding #club r#meetup #west #michigan #lowell #monthly @kentdistrictlibrary #englehardt #fun #free #crow #bat #talokawasaki #pattybat #flapping

Testing, testing, 1,2,3. Another remarkable methyl cellulose transformation. Folded a 7/8” square of mulberry paper into an ultra clean, crisp traditional iris. They usually come out with raised fibers making them look a little linty. Not anymore! #delicate #clean #mini #tiny #origami #iris #flower #blossom #petals #paper #mulberry #unryu #pink #fuchsia #japanese #art #craft #tinygami #mi

More methyl cellulose magic. They may look like small, ordinary, traditional pattern frogs but they aren’t! The solid green one is folded from a 2” square of paper that is too soft to fold well. And the patterned one on the right is folded from a 1.5” square of soft, thick washi. I use 1.5” squares of washi to fold cranes from time to time but they always look messy, too thick, and chunky. Frogs this small? After many failed attempts I’d given up trying. There are too many folds of multiple layers and the creases don’t hold... . Unless you mc the paper! 😮 Then they both fold and look perfect! . @jtorigami you and your mc workshop at Centerfold truly changed my art and life for the better 😊 #methylcellulose #mc #origami #paper #magic #frogs #hoppers #origamiinmyhand #tinygami #solution #sizing #thischangeseverything #foldable #thin #soft #thick #washi #michigan #artist
