1000 origami cranes

Origami Cranes :: It is said that when one folds 1000 origami paper cranes they are granted a wish.

The backdrop for our wedding ceremony. I don't recommend it. It took me a month, and the paper cuts were unbearable. But maybe I just shouldn't be allowed around paper.

This colorful painting is made up of 1000 origami cranes swirling across the 30" x 40" wood panel. First origami artwork by Andrew Wang (2020).

(Aren't they cute?) My wedding gift for Claire and Gary is finally done and delivered, and I thought I'd share. The japanese tradition says that folding 1000 paper cranes for a couple on their wedding day is wishing them 1000 years of happiness and prosperity. My obsessive paper-folding tedium-loving self thought this sounded like a great plan, and a few months of continuous paper folding later, I achieved a very large pile of pretty white birds. 1000 paper cranes I had them all folded in…

Raise your hand if you think origami is cool. There is an old Japanese legend that if you make 1000 paper cranes, you will have eternal good luck. Well, I don’t quite have enough time to fold…

My name is Cristian Marianciuc, and I love paper art.
