Hi Judy, I just found your video completely by acccident.  I bought one of your cranes at least a year ago at The Silver Clay, tracked down your article and invested in a pasta machine and even the motor. Your video answers a lot of questions and has remotivated me to persue this again! Thank you so much! What a generous thing for you to share!

FABULOUS video, Judy! Read my text comments for more detail. I'm going to go home tonight and try this with my new pasta machine!

AWESOME, Judy. I thank you so much for these tutes! I just bought a pasta machine yesterday, can't wait to make something really nifty with it. I appreciate also how you re-thought the folding process in order to translate it from paper to polymer. Terrific vid! - Lee

I love polymer clay, but never would have thought in a million years to use it for origami!! Genius idea! Thanks for this great demo :D

It looks great, Judy! One question, though. What size is the template that you use? Can't wait to see your finished crane project.  It's going to be magnificent!

[PolymerJudy]

I use a 5 to 6" square for the standard size cranes. For the smaller, fidelity cranes, that I present as a pair, I use a 3 to 4" square. I have folded a square as small as 2.5 cm, and as large as about 16".
