So this will be a weekly thing... These post probably won't be long, but I figured some of you would like to see my progress, and maybe make your own!

So, this week was the beginning. I was alone in my apartment on Saturday, somewhat bored. I had been thinking about movement 2 of Area 11's song Bosozoku symphonic, which was title Senbazuru. I had googled what it was. It was the thousand paper cranes I remembered hearing about when I was in primary school.

I decided, being bored, that I'd learn to make paper cranes.

I started here

Step 6 was difficult to get... It's kind of hard to explain though...

After the 4th I'd figured it out. I could now make one without looking. I'd officially learnt how to make a paper crane!

But something about them was so amazing that I couldn't stop making them. I listened to area 11 whilst making them, resulting in a somewhat relaxing experience.

By the time I went to bed on Sunday, 22 had been made. I then decided that I was going to make 1000, and hang them somewhere. It is now one of my goals in life... Pretty lame (and easy, though tedious) goal, but whatever.

Unfortunately, progress had slowed when my family got home. Through the week, I made a further 8, bringing my total to 30.

Well, I had made another one, but I gave it to my best friend as a gift. So I've technically made 31, but only 30 thus far are going to the Senbazuru.

I'm probably going to make many more over the course of the next 2 weeks, as Queensland's school holidays have just officially started!

Also, if using A4 paper like I am, the excess is the perfect size for shopping lists... Oh, and fold diagonally to get a square with the A4 sheet and cut off the excess I just mentioned!

Also, make sure you have the space to place all your cranes somewhere. Once you get 40, you can thread them together to make your first chain! The average Senbazuru consists of 25 chains of 40 cranes! And then you can hang it somewhere out of sight and start again! And hope they don't rot or anything...

So yeah... Boredom brings forth the most peculiar impulses...

See you next week!
