Birds of a Feather... Spring Forward Together!

It's certainly been feeling like the early spring that was predicted on Groundhog's Day this year and with the days getting longer (don't forget to set your clocks ahead on Sunday! 2am --> 3am), we're sure to see the birds making their way back.  So this week, I am featuring origami flapping cranes. 

I made these for a coworker who commissioned me to make party favors for her daughter's birthday party.  Being a baker herself, she gave me a color schematic (pink and green), but otherwise trusted me to make whatever I thought the kids would enjoy.

These "flapping" cranes are what came to fruition (along with "leaping" frogs that I'll feature next week).  I'm told they were a big hit!  Many thanks to my coworker for trusting me and my creativity!  If you want to see her amazing cakes or even commission a cake, check out her work at Bim's Flavors.
