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.

Thank you Elizabeth for your beautiful papers 😍 Their soft, gentle colors just make me say “ahhhhhhh” each time I look at them. The softness of the paper makes it work well in folding small scale though I think due to its thickness the 1.5” squares are the smallest I’ll cut them down to for now. This is a four crane renzuru with each 1.5” square still connected to the others at their wingtips 💕 #mini #origami #beauty #pastel #rainbow #gift #paper #pretty #peace #cranes #japanese #renzuru #origamiinmyhand #tinygami #michigan #artist

First of 1000 tiny koi. Will be cutting paper for the next few days #origami #koi #carp #folded #alveyjones #handmade #painted #paper #openskypapers #red #gold #black #artprize #artistsoninstagram #michigan #artist

Macrobiotic? No need to be left out when everyone else is making s’mores... I made campfire-toasted, brown rice mochi instead! It’s made of steamed, pounded, sweet glutinous rice and formed into a cake. It is quite hard/firm until you pan toast, oven bake, or grill over hot coals. Then the outside becomes crispy and the inside melts, bubbles out, and becomes very sticky. You can eat plain, dip in soy sauce mixed with a sweetener, or my favorite way lightly baste with a tiny bit of soy mixed with water just before it’s ready then apply direct heat one last time to sear the basting to the mochi. I heated the prongs of my roasting fork to ease them into the mochi without cracking it. Be careful not to burn your fingers in the process and chew small bites very well before swallowing #macrobiotic #toasted #mochi #brownrice #oishi #delicious #vegetarian #vegan #japanese #summer #fun #treat @mitoku_official #michigan #backyard #party

When my dear friend Angela learned my macrobiotic counselor suggested I eat raw, unpasteurized sauerkraut every day (fermented foods = super high quality gut biome) she made me an organic batch and has inspired me to start making my own. I’ll be using Sisalt brand sea salt, organic cabbage, and around 5 weeks per batch. Thank you Angela for the delicious sauerkraut and inspiration ❤️ #probiotics #organic #homemade #gift #macrobiotic #healthy #gut #biome #fermented #whole #food #diet #red #cabbage #yum #oishi #vegetarian #vegan

Time to cut 1000 tiny squares of paper to fold the koi from 😍 Some of this selection is from @hollanders_annarbor, Spokane Art Supply, gifts, and Nikaku San Jose, CA #paper #origami #handmade #art #red #yellow #orange #black #koi #carp #fish #colors #bright

Woke up this morning and discovered the end of season, sale rack, spent, and quite frankly sick looking clematis I picked up last year is blooming! Was happy when I realized it survived the winter and am thrilled it is now covered with blossoms 😍 #hope #secondchance #gardening #clematis #blooming #vine #yard #delicate #natural #beauty #happy #needtogetmore

998, 999, 1000! The butterflies are all folded for this year’s ArtPrize entry. The last one pictured here folded from a 1/2” square of paper. Now to fold 1000 tiny cranes and 1000 tiny koi goldfish #mini #tiny #kawaii #origami #traditional #butterfly #folded #paper #handmade #michigan #artist #artprize #artistsoninstagram #tinygami

Tiny gestures of kindness... A surprise arrived in my PO Box. A tiny, beautiful, and heartwarming painting. Thank you so much @lisampaynestudio for this treasure. It will brighten my day each time I look at it 😊Please drop a comment when you launch your new landscape and floral minis! They are so sweet 💕❤️💕 #watercolor #mini #tiny #original #art #flower #sunflower #painting #creative #artistsoninstagram #gift #surprise #thankyou

Certain colors are hard to find in origami papers. Yellow is one. Aqua, grey, brown, and black are a few more. When I find them I stash them away to use as needed... Like for this tiny crane box. It’s sitting on a folded business card and is 1”x1” in diameter if you’re wondering how big (or tiny) it is #mini #origami #folded #paper #box #peace #crane #yellow #handmade #tinygami
