Who am I?

So who am I? Just another anonymous person who knows how to set up a blog? In short yes, but I'll elaborate a bit below:

I'm 25, live just outside London but work in the City. As what? Don't really know, last contract I was a VBA developer in Luxembourg! Sounds terribly interesting doesn't it...T_T. I've got a couple of degrees in irrelevant (to my work) subjects.

My recent after work activities have recently included filmaking courses, photography and a track day.

Anyway onto today's work. I managed 9, one is really teeny and its wings are gammy so may redo it - no guesses which! I did a 10th but gave it to a colleague who saw me making them. Also attempted a dragon, unsucessfully - did the wings and everything but fluffed the reverse folds for tail and neck and it ended up looking like something out of Lylat Wars (Starfox 64).







Also I put my heavily chewed pen - yes, I'm teething - in for scale. Again all were made from a sheet of A4 or two.

The Start

Ever since seeing the character from Heroes, Hiro Nakamura, make a thousand or a million paper cranes (I forget which) as payment for a wish, I've wanted to give it a shot.

I don't have time travel on my side but I'll still aim to make at least one crane a day.

To get me started I made a few out of a squared piece of A4. I have eight squares left to use...unfortunately I'm not that dextrous!

So six it is for now!
