Each crane has 26 folds and there are 1001 cranes.  "According to Japanese lore, folding one thousand Origami cranes is truly a labor of love. Tradition holds that the bride & groom who finishes this task, called SENBAZURU, before the wedding day will be richly rewarded with a good and happy marriage. Paying homage to the majestic crane, which mates for life and is said to live one thousand years, ensures their own good fortune.    Whether you choose a modern design or traditional design, your artwork will be uniquely yours.  
2019 -  Origami Designs  will accept   artworks of less than 1001 cranes.  Ask  about the options for your design.   See our  new  keepsake  boxes with cranes!!

The Heart Mosaic below  was a design chosen by the caring friends of Dale  - a young boy who lost his life to cancer.   Friends wanted to present the family with a memorial that was "Dale"  and commissioned this mosaic for his family "In Loving Memory..."    It is an unusual design, difficult to photograph but beautiful when viewed from the front.  

Friends folded all the cranes,  An engraver donated  the engraving,    Origami Designs donated the time and work and framing for this beautiful Memorial Mosaic.   All the colors were incorporated into the "Rainbow Theme" mosaic even the brown!       The frame was made in Southern California.
