    Beautiful portrait, love the paper you’re using, and congrats on learning how to make the crane! My niece made one the other day, and let her cousin play with it, what fun they had!

  • mimi yoon replied

    i’ve drawn paper cranes in many of my art in the past… and each time, i had to ask someone(usually at my art school) to fold one for me, but since i’m homebound and cannot ask anyone, i had no choice but to do it myself today… and so far, mine is the best i’ve seen ;P… it was fun and not too hard either…

    the paper i’m using for this series is plain white pastel paper with some texture…. i’m actually using the back of the paper not to have too much texture… different patterns are photographed art papers i spent too much money on awhile ago…

    thank you so very much for the compliment, mel….
    love love your art… :D

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you so much, corey… so how long did you stare ? ;P
    did you know if you fold 1,000 of these cranes and give ‘em to someone you love and want love back from, you will win her heart? i’m not sure where it came from, but i think each asian country claims that it’s their folklore…. “believe it or not”...

    You mention (in a reply somewhere above) that some of your words just come out at random and do not necessarily reflect your current feelings and emotions.

    Then you are truly a ‘wordsmith’ as well as a talented artist. . .

    Your words seem to go right through me. Thank you.

  • mimi yoon replied

    no, hugh…. THANK YOU !!!!
    you are so kind and generous with your compliments….

    Stunning work…overlay coloring and pattern were nice choices for this piece. Also I wanted to say that I admire your work as well as the other 9 artists for 1000 girls in 100 days. Not only for the artistic freedom it allows but the statements behind each piece bringing multiple perspectives and insights as well as an ambitious goal to achieve. Cheers!
