Today I wanted to show you a craft project I finished recently. When Kiko and I went to a mall the other day, they were giving out these paper origami cranes. They gave us three pretty cranes in pink and red; it was too cute to throw them out. I decided to enjoy them a bit longer by making them into a mobile for Kiko’s nursery. Although I did not make these cranes, it is easy to find many different origami tutorials online (Youtube is great for that), and you can follow this instruction for cranes. There is a custom to bring a mobile made out of 1000 paper cranes for someone who is sick or is hospitalized, to wish them to be well and for a long life. The crane is good luck here in Japan.

Shop Update: Origami Skirt
Origami Skirt (also via Etsy)
Hello! The shop has been updated with a new skirt. This is the second of the three Summer piece series (First one here) I worked on with Jessica of Hapatime. She shot these gorgeous photos while she was vacationing in Hawaii. I love the clear water and blue sky! I’ve been to Hawaii once when I was a child, and I remember ocean being very pretty. I named this skirt Origami skirt since I was inspired by Origami. I added these fish fin like pieces in front and back that hang. The skirt is very light and breezy. Check out Jessica’s post on her blog here!
