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.

A friend called yesterday and said she and two friends who all live in different states had a Zoom origami session. They chose different tutorials I made in the past two weeks and learned to fold together. That made me so happy! Especially because she told me her anxiety had been high but folding shifted her focus to the rabbit she was making and required so much concentration she literally forgot to be anxious. . You can find all 14 tutorials at the Tinygami Patreon page and YouTube channel. Direct links to both are in my bio #origami #reset #learning #art #craft #diy #therapeutic #calming #peaceful #handmade #crane #stress #anxiety #relief #socialdistancing #staysafe #new #hobby

So much kindness in the world! Thank you @evelynbferguson for the surprise care package! You made my day 😊 #origami #gift #carepackage #surprise #kindness #generosity #paper #book #possibilities #create #make #diy #art #craft #thankyou

Breakfast veggies: Steam fried kale stems, ground, toasted peanuts, umeboshi vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil.

Sometimes a picture (or video) is worth a thousand words. How to open and close a traditional, origami menko. How to fold one is now a video on my Patreon page. Link to there is in my bio. BTW how to affix them to the card for shipping took as long to invent as it took to learn to fold one.

Looks like I murdered my murder. Of crows 😂 #origami #origamiinmyhand #crows #birds #paper #tiny #small #lol #tinygami

I’m sure some of you are feeling broken hearted. I know I am. I just half joked with a friend I’m going to start crying in the shower every day so I don’t waste Kleenex 😢 But then I think about how life is hard sometimes and it’s supposed to be that way. Then I think of Kintsugi and how we can heal from hardship in a way that makes us more beautiful ❤️ . This is a bereavement gift for a friend. I hope it brings them comfort. I hope we all find comfort wherever that may be... Eating mashed potatoes, creating art, catching up with friends on the phone... Do things that lift your spirits as we distance ourselves physically only for now. #mini #tiny #origami #cranes #heart #kintsugi #peace #love #hope #comfort #gift #tinygami

Not sure what is going on with our sunrises this week but today’s was a show stopper! Or a get out of bed hopper. I leapt up to snap this as the color peaked. The peak is so fleeting, lasting only seconds. . . I reflected on that. It’s like life. Every moment can’t be a peak or high. There has to be a lower level otherwise the high becomes the norm. But the high isn’t sustainable. If the sun were to stay right there yes it would be gorgeous but plants wouldn’t grow, we wouldn’t have food, or vitamin D. . So don’t yearn for only peaks and highs. Lower moments create the balance and contrast that make the high points more special #herecomesthesun #sunrise #musings #inmyhead #thoughts #highsandlows #nature #beauty #paintedsky #onfire #nofilter #natural #appreciation #hardtimes #goodtimes

If you’re stuck at home frustrated, scared, bored or all of the above please join me in creating beautiful, almost magical, things out of paper. . To help people pass the time while social distancing I’m making 14 beginner level, origami, free, video tutorials over 14 days. You’ll find them on my Patreon and YouTube channels. Patreon has an additional blog post for each with more photos and tips so it’s the better resource of the two. You can click my bio link to find a direct link to Patreon. . The video I’m releasing today is the pig. On my list are the frog, crane, and a turtle. #origami #video #tutorial #class #diy #howto #instructions #try #fun #allages #kids #paper #activity #learning #creative #japanese #art #craft

It arrived! Broken ☹️ Disappointed for sure but couldn’t be happier with the customer service from the seller who is filing a claim on their end (it was insured) and refunded my purchase price. Not only did a knob break, the typewriter only works to the middle point then jams. It must have taken a hard fall between Austria and Michigan. I may take it to a repair shop but expect that may cost as much as I’d paid to get it working and the knob is probably irreplaceable ☹️ Though I’m wondering if it could be perfectly reproduced using a 3D printer 🤔 But that would also be an expensive proposition. Sigh. Life goes on 😊 #vintage #antique #hermes #baby #typewriter #broken #damaged #disappointed #thatslife #thesearchcontinues #rollwithit
