A tiny origami peace crane on a matchbox with a peace quote inside was my next project. It has been many many years since I have attempted origami so with the help of ‘you tube’ I remastered the art of peace crane making. I left some boxes plain and painted some gold to pick up the gold detail in the cranes. I really love the result of the matchboxes. One of the nicest spin offs from this one is my 11 year old and 8 year old sons have now gone origami mad they are looking up ‘you tube’ and creating amazing works of paper folding. I particularly loved coming home the other day to be given an origami love heart with the words written “I love you Mum” on it.
I have used the following peace quotes in these matchboxes:
“A smile is the beginning of peace.” Mother Teresa
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” Buddha
“If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.” Dalai Lama
“Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.” Lyndon B. Johnson
