Dunn’s Peace Crane Project

by Cynthia Tinapple on April 3, 2008 · 6 comments

You may recognize polymer clay artist Judy Dunn for her pods or her shibori beads. Judy also has a passion for origami cranes.

For thousands of years the Japanese culture has treasured the crane as a symbol of honor and loyalty. This strong, graceful, beautiful bird mates for life and is extremely loyal to its partner.

The Japanese people feel that a person who folds 1,000 cranes will be granted his or her greatest wish. And Judy has a wish.

Judy’s polymer clay crane project is meant to recognize the loss of life in the Iraq war. It is a call for peace and she invites others to join her.

You can learn how to make a polymer clay crane by watching Judy’s new online videos.
