Man, go you. I can't believe you made all thousand. You're gonna have the best luck ever I assume haha. That looks really cool, what class was it for and how did you do?
:iconxgrace1882:
It was for my senior thesis project, which was a huge ordeal of horrendousness (if that is even a word).
It was pretty crazy because half of the faculty didn't know anything about Japanese art or origami or Japanese artists but the other half of the faculty knew about the story of a thousand cranes and of famous Japanese contemporary artists, so they would all just argue with each other about how my project was either too subtle or not subtle enough.
I'm wasn't supposed to tell anyone but I got the highest grade in the class :-)

Ohhhh snap! You have my support, I know the whole 1,000 cranes thing。 Now the question is did you make them all yourself or did you have help? It‘s totally awesome, really。 P。s。 the art department at OU is just a bunch of pretentious artists and only half of them can only create anything new。 I really like it。 Go you。 How are you? E-mail me on facebook sometime, I wanna know。

I had help folding some of them-
it really made me think of the Tom Sawyer thing when he is whitewashing the fence and everyone wants to try it.
But it was not really that I needed help (or was trying to convince people to help me), people just felt compelled to try to fold cranes when they saw me doing it :-P
Then of course, I had to teach most of them how and that took longer than me actually folding them myself.
BUT, I became really picky about how they looked so half the time I ended up refolding them when people tried to help me. I will email you on facebook some time, we need to catch up!
