Paper Swans :D


I tried learning some origami back in like 7th grade...




This is where you probably expect me to say I failed at it.
But no. I did fine. And I taught myself :P
hehe.



So whenever I get realllyy bored and have paper but no writing utensil I make paper swans XD
I dont think iv ever been able to make more than 3 at a time.mostly because i get bored of it at least by the 2nd swan ...or I get distracted = .=
Ive wanted to make a paper swan "mobile" thinger jig
*gets distracted by tumblr for like half an hour and comes back "ohhhh...oops. gotta finish this XD"
I want to hang a mobile of paper swans from my ceiling O uO
I read aabout this myth they have in japan, where if you make 1,000 paper swans you get one wish. It was really sad though :S The article was in part about a girl like 20 years ago+ who had cancer and she wazs in the hospital for a very long time and wanted to get better. So she started making all these paper swans whenever she wasnt too tired or sick. she was somewhere towards her 800-900th swan when she died :'(
I think it would be so cool to make 1,000 swans... *wips out on screen calculator( so I really didnt wip anything out > .>) So say I wanted to make 1,000 in HALF a year. soo thats about 182 days. I would have to make about 5 swans every day for 182 days O_O  or if I were to make 1000 in one year id have to make 2-3 everyday O~O But with my attention span I would probably never be able to achieve that :(
I DO still want to make the mobile thought. And Im planning on also making a bunch of little spinny top things... hard to explain XD paint them in UV paint and hang those from the ceiling at my dads..

                                            
Found on tumblr and reminded me of my idea C:
I think these are so pretty :)) But I would hang more XD 

Ive got like a kajillion starburst wrappers saved with all my craft stuff! Somehow I knew I would find a use for them O 3O > u<


Ive made some this small...  O .O I might try this :) Itd be really cute for an idea I have :)
