Watching the documentary Beyond the Folds with my class today, reminded me how much I loved making paper cranes. Origami enthusiast Christian Marianciuc has been creating paper cranes everyday for a year.

His creations are inspired by his emotions and they involve a plethora of different techniques.  He documents his collection documented on his instagram page.

This is a great reminder that we can take something generic and transform it through personal creativity. The key is inspiring that creativity and giving enough breadth to fan the flames of individual expression.
