1000.

I can say with a big sigh that the cranes are complete.

1000.

This is without a doubt the longest and largest craft project endeavor that I have ever done, as well as Matt. If you've ever worked on something that has taken months, maybe you know the feeling. The slight feeling of emptiness, that something is missing? haha. Maybe this is what it feels like to work on a giant quilt and finally finishing. Whatever the case, ever since folding the last crane yesterday, I've felt strange, like...oh I should be doing something, but there's nothing left to do!

can you see the bit of sadness behind the eyes?

Here is a pic of the 1000th piece of crane paper.

The last 60 cranes were folded while indulging in a big treat:

yup--definitely splurged on this one!

Just looking at this picture gives me a sugar headache, haha.

And here are some more obligatory crane pics:

counting and color coding

So there you have it. We did it...in approx. 2.5 months, yeah!

Along with the two of us, some of our students helped out a bit, as well as some of the teachers at school. It will be great to take pictures and show them a little piece of Korea when we come back to school!

THEY'RE DONE.

Now we just need to package them snugly,and prepare them at home by stringing them and gluing them on fishing wire. Can't wait to see the final result!
