It's not as hard as you may think if you watch it. Yes, that is my desk, in my room, with my wonderful stuff.
Yes, there are 702 cranes to date. You will need a square piece of paper. Please follow the video as it has step to step instructions with specific guidance. 1.) Fold the paper diagonally in half. Crease. 2.) Unfold the paper and fold it diagonally in half the other way. Crease. 3.) Unfold the paper and fold it in half (not diagonally). Crease. 4.) Unfold the paper and fold it in half the other way. Crease. 5.) Unfold the paper and fold half of a diagonal fold inwards (non-colored), then layer on top of it flaps and make a square. (Watch the video.) 6.) Do step 5 for the other side. The colored side should be on the outside and you should not be able to see the uncolored side. 7.) With the open side down, fold a flap to the middle crease. Do the same to the other side. 8.) Flip and repeat step 7. 9.) Fold the top triangle down and unfold. 10.) Unfold the folds you made and open the flap, bringing the top up and flattening, folding, and creasing it; the colors will still be on the outside. 11.) Flip and repeat steps 9 and 10. 12.) With the open "legs" downwards, fold the flaps to the middle crease on both sides and on both sides, if that makes sense. 13.) Open the side flaps and inside-out fold the "legs" up on both sides, one at a time. 14.) Chose one of the sides to make a head on and inside-out fold it. 15.) Fold down the wings on each side; these will only fold to a certain point. 16.) Take the wings close to the body and pull gently to expand the body to stand on its own. For a flapping crane, skip 16. To make it flap hold the leg part by the head near to the body and the base of the tail; pull up and out. It's not that hard but people don't get it anyways. I didn't explain it too well in words 'cause I did the video. I'm very sorry, but it took a long while. The Forest's Hart by shadowgirl on deviantART

You may have noticed that I post many quotes from the manga/anime series Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. There are many reasons why I have enjoyed this series; here are a few. - There's magic. Lots of magic. Not like poof-poof-abracadabra, but it is actually magic more based on martial arts and the like. - The characters are so very well developed and each is very distinct. - There are well-defined and interesting plot arcs that engage the reader/watcher and are suspenseful. - It is neither "shoujo" nor too much "shounen" but a perfect balance between the two. - Fairy Tail is filled with excellent humor that makes the reader laugh out loud every time. - Between all the humor and fighting, there are actually valuable lessons and insights about friendship, emotions, and the like. - There are many more reasons to like Fairy Tail that I haven't listed. Even though some parts are inappropriate, the other factors make it a very fun and involving series for the readers and watchers. Many fans of the series both love and hate the author Mashima at the same time. They love him because they're so into the series and the characters are so real to them, but they hate him because sometimes he causes the characters to be hurt in outrageous ways. Oh,well, that's all I have to say for now. Besides that this is the only anime I've personally watched so far. |
