One thousand crane

Admin — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 07:43:03 +0000

Anomaly have teamed up with some friends and artists from around the world to create a site that enables beautiful designs to be downloaded and folded into origami cranes. For a small donation they ask that you download a design and follow the instructions to make a crane. They would like as many people as possible to fold a crane and then place it somewhere prominent so that it might inspire others to also focus on those in the grip of tragedy.

So please donate, download, print and fold an origami crane in support of Japan
