Last Sunday was such a nice spring day and I was visiting Glendale where I had lived for 4 years. I kind of miss certain things about the area such as unique local stores and coffee shops. One of the stops I made was at a boutique called The Lake in Silverlake. I didn't buy anything (I couldn't buy anything) but I enjoyed the selection of their products. One thing that caught my eyes at the boutique was a product that was not for sale. It was a mobile with red cranes attached to a string hanging from a ceiling. It was so graceful. Ever since I saw the mobile, I kept on thinking about the beauty of the red cranes and thought of making one for my home. Instead of plain red origami paper, I found a sheet of red gift wrap paper that has white polka dots on it so used it to create 5 cranes (1 big crane, 4 baby cranes.) Awww, I love the color and the structure of the origami crane...next step is to hang them from the ceiling. Maybe next weekend.
