Work in Progress Wednesday

My first work in progress post is a long term project for me. It is something I read about a while back and it is something that I want to do for myself.

I am a lover of all things from Japan, from kimono to the legends. One of those is the one of the 1000 cranes. Exact stories differ, but a person must fold 1000 cranes. The legends state that they could either be given a wish, or granted happiness and eternal good luck. It is a goal I am trying for myself. To fold 1000 cranes on my own.

This is the wiki explaining more to it, as well as a sort of neat story that really brought the legend to light.

And this is another page that is kind of neat explaining more about the legend and the true story of a young lady that developed leukemia after she survived the bombing of Hiroshima at age 2.
