Traditional Crane

So, uh. I locked in a bit too hard, on my day off from work (hence my fucked-up hair)...

...and folded my first origami model that uses tracing paper. Following in the success of my crane that I folded from a 1 cm square of mulberry paper earlier today, I folded yet another crane... but this time, it was made from a 0.5 cm square of tracing paper.

I had ICU ASMR playing in the background that entire time, since working on this thing under a light with two tweezers (for maximum precision), gloves (to prevent my fingertip sweat from warping the paper), and a mask (so I didn't accidentally breathe the model out of my grasp) made it genuinely feel like I was performing surgery on this model. It actually worked out a lot better than I could've ever guessed to get me fully immersed and invested into the project.

2 mg tablet of Estradiol for scale again, but I also included a single grain of white jasmine rice for additional emphasis on how small this model is. It's half the size of a grain of goddamn rice. This is now the SMALLEST origami model that I've ever folded in my entire life.

I'm never doing this shit again. _(ᐛ 」∠)_

Alright, so I lied through my teeth about that last part! I bought a new digital microscope and a pair of precision tweezers today, since I'm suddenly captivated by the idea of folding micro origami like this, and this certainly won't be my last time doing it.

The microscope works great, too! Here's a much better look at the above crane (with a 2 mg tablet of Estradiol and a grain of white jasmine rice for scale, same as before). 💜
