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.

Daybreak at Fred and Stacie’s Airbnb. The rates are reasonable but you can’t be taller than 5’2” to fit into my 4’x6’ “Glampette” 🤣 Well, to comfortably fit 🤔 My tiny trailer (on the right), designed by me then built by Fred, is how I ended up in Michigan. Literally and figuratively 😉 #siliconvalleytogreenville #staycation #yard #backyard #camping #glamping #glampette #teardrop #cannedham #travel #trailer #sleepover #summertime #daybreak #morning

First attempt at Talo Kawasaki’s “Cosi Bunny” using a 3/4” square of paper. Not perfect but definitely possible 🥰 #adorable #kawaii #cute #origami #bunny #rabbit #rabbitsofinstagram #paper #mini #tiny #handmade #japanese #art #craft #squee #toocute #talokawasaki #design #crazycute #possibilities

I can’t read Japanese so I can’t credit the designer or tell you the title of the book this fold came from. Instead I’m including a cover shot of the book in the second image. . It isn’t tiny but it is origami. It’s a special card for my special, origami friend @katypillar. She’s sent me several beautiful handmade cards in the past... My intention was to gift her the book because she loves Hello Kitty but then I decided to use it to make a card to include with this care package. . The paper crane, vintage furoshiki contained a few other surprises. I’ve started using traditional, Japanese wrapping cloths in place of paper to be more eco-friendly ❤️ . Book was purchased @origamishopdotus . #hellokitty @sanrio #origami #paper #japanese #art #craft #card #note #cute #kawaii #gift #japanese #furoshiki #tsuru #crane #unique #special #cat #kitten

There was only room in my car for one mobile to take to the Centerfold origami convention to exhibit. . I chose my “Injustice” mobile. I made it and it’s two accompanying mobiles “Healing,” and “Love” back in 2017. The photo is of my family held at the Heart Mountain internment camp during WWII. It includes my grandma who taught me how to fold the origami crane ❤️ . Of the many mobiles I’ve made it is the most personal and meaningful to me. #origami #1000 #paper #cranes #tsuru #injustice #internment #american #prisoners #racism #prejudice #discrimination #injustice #art #history #expression #senbazuru #miniature #barbedwire #handmade #tinygami #exhibition #centerfold #ohio

Really hoping Fred gets bored this winter and builds a little bridge like this for the ornamental garden I’m creating outside my studio. I saw this one at a Japanese restaurant in Ohio #hopes #dreams #want #need #tiny #japanese #inspired #bridge #landscaping #garden #design

Rawr! Tiny origami lion designed by @robsnyderorigami , folded by @robsnyderorigami, standing on my palm. I should have counted how many times my jaw dropped while attending the Centerfold origami convention 😮 This guy was purrfect in both his stance and expression #origami #lion #cat #roar #rawr #wildlife #predator #paper #art #craft #robsnyder #ohio #artist #origamiinmyhand

More bunny love 💕🐰🐰💕 A real high point for me (At the Centerfold origami convention) was not only meeting but learning and folding with @robsnyderorigami, one of my all time favorite model designers here on Instagram. . He doesn’t know this but he’s been part of my Origami Inspiration Posse here on IG for years 😉 Thank you so much Rob for your friendship and for teaching me three of your models this past weekend. You made my first convention so much more memorable 💕 . Large rabbit (first try) folded from 6” square. Baby bunny folded from 1.5” square #origami #centerfold #midwest #convention #rabbit #paper #folding #bunny #rabbitsofinstagram #hopper #animal #handmade #us #designer #ohio #art #craft

I’ve really gotten the hang of sticking to my macrobiotic diet when traveling. With two serious health conditions I’m highly motivated to always do my best in meal choices and planning. . How to do it in a hotel room? I cook my grains ahead and freeze them in 1 cup servings and reheat them in a small slow cooker. I blanch veggies in a similar fondue pot by pouring boiling water over them and thinly slicing the veggies so they’ll cook faster. Electric water kettle and ice chests not pictured. . Hotels are great because there’s always an ice machine to keep my cooler cold. I don’t bring any kind of fry pan because they can set off the smoke detectors. So limited cooking methods but I’m still able to create delicious, healthy, less expensive than eating out meals #breakfast #organic #oatmeal #steelcutoats #apple #raisin #walnut #brusselssprouts #green #leafy #vegetables #wholefoods #plantbased #macrobiotic #travel #hotel #cooking

Somebunny loves you 💕🐰🐰💕 I’m in love with Talo Kawasaki’s Cosi Bunny pattern 😍 I folded the brown one with him at Centerfold when he graciously taught it to me. I made the pink and white one then experimented with minor modifications last night before I passed out on the couch. Three nights of folding until 3:00 am and a five hour drive home wore this girl out 😬🤣 #origami #rabbit #bunny #talokawasaki #design #teacher #instructor #luckyme #cute #adorable #kawaii #folded #paper #japanese #art #craft #centerfold #midwest #origamiconvention #ohio
