Crane count: 720

Getting there! I can feel a certain amount of fatigue/boredom setting in, not intense but enough that I know I can't just coast.

If I maintain my pace, I'll be finished in about two weeks.

Crane Count: 480. Almost halfway!

And here they are:



I've also noticed (although I couldn't get a good picture of it), that the part of my thumbnail that I use to burnish folds has itself been burnished to a high gloss.

Crane count: 240

And I've had the intent all along but finally drafted language for the wish: (being that I'm USian) "May this year's elections move my country toward democracy, compassion, and justice."

Having gone online-shopping and read Amazon reviews of 1000-sheet crane kits, it's a little humbling to see how often other people do this, like I could almost think it's fairly ordinary. But at the same time, I'm not aware of anyone I know personally who's done it. (Can't even think of anyone I personally know who's tried it, other than myself.)

I didn't actually get one of those kits myself; I'm making mine out of colored memo cubes from Staples. Tip if you do this, do get paper in a range of colors; getting each color-block done has been a nicely motivating mini-goal.
