It made my third grader mind so sad and confused about why people can't just get along. <BR/><BR/>I think the 1000 cranes to make 1 will be awesome, but unfortunately I don't have any idea what the best way to make a frame would be. The escaping cranes thing is super cool though. It makes me want to go get a big vase and some origami paper.Special Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379956963041160592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950265263808507619.post-71630603237812300372008-11-09T05:58:00.000-08:002008-11-09T05:58:00.000-08:00You might want to check out the work of these arti...You might want to check out the work of these artists; http://www.handsart.net/rabble.html<BR/><BR/>They have done installations in many places where they have created shapes and forms with hanging objects.

It can be bent to accommodate the shape that you can use for your cranes (ex. a kite shape with a head and a tail?) with a center tying point. You'll probably need someone who can spot-weld a couple of pieces together for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
