Born from the Pinky

Pardon the redundancy but I just wanted to show another view of the smaller crane in Born from Fingers. I liked this angle better, however it was difficult to achieve without brightening my fingers too much. Somehow it was easier to take a clear shot as a bird’s eye view without over lighting. I’m not so proud of the photography, but I am of the origami, so here it is!

Thank you Pat. Oh my, I just realized my links weren’t working a while ago; got them fixed now though :).
Mui-Ling Teh in reply to Dawnsky2’s comment, 3 months ago

Thank you Dawnsky2! Now that you mention it, it does seem to look smaller here; or my pinky just looks bigger? :P
Mui-Ling Teh in reply to butchart’s comment, 3 months ago

Thank you b! And knowing you you always read the descriptions :). Although I only noticed a while ago that my linking didn’t work; hence the address appeared in my description, messing it up. I have fixed it now if you want to read it again (in case you got confused or lost track the first time) – pardon me :P

Another Great angle of the crane my friend! Lovely lighting! I can see the hard work on your fingers! Keep it up my friend, soon you will get your wish, if you made a thousand crane, hihihi. I remember that story when I was a child.

Mui-Ling Teh in reply to Colin Tobin’s comment, 3 months ago

I believe you also commented on my “Born from Fingers” before. It’s the same little crane ;)
Colin Tobin, 3 months ago

It’s still just as insane. :)
The size of it just blows me away.

I showed it to some co-workers a minute ago, and they are just as floored as I am.

What an amazing and intricate creation. Wow, however did you ever build this so tiny, I think we have a world record for the world smallest Origami Creation. This is so amazing
Mui-Ling Teh in reply to prisoner’s comment, 2 months ago

You may be right; but the world doesn’t seem give a lot of credit to tiny art… :( But thankfully the community of redbubble appreciates my mini origami, thanks for the lovely comment!

I have always found paper cranes…especially the tiny ones, fascinating.

I love the show “Heros” and the scene where the character Hiro makes all the paper cranes for his girl, Charlie…and hangs them all over the restaurant where she works and presents them to her instantaneously because he can manipulate time as his super hero power…it was that way he proved to her he had super powers.
Mui-Ling Teh in reply to Kelli Maier’s comment, 2 months ago

Interesting. I’m not very familiar with the show; I don’t watch tv very much but I certainly do love origami! Thanks for the comment and the favoriting.
Kelli Maier, 2 months ago

yeah…it is one of the few I watch…and then I have it downloaded from Amazon…I can’t stomach commercials.
