Good afternoon, @311somerville.bsky.social! Upper Glenwood is really getting the worst of both the weather and the snowplows. Can you add us to the the list to get a little attention as soon as it warms up enough for patching?

Crane #56 is made of metallic gold paper, and I love the way it catches the light.

This is starting to become a habit.
I went to Papersource for a pen and some notepaper, and noticed the bag had a request that it be recycled. Instead, I cut it into 3” squares, and it’s actually a nice paper for making cranes!

Today’s crane has less interesting paper, as it was made with a post it note! I’m proud of it, though. The smaller size is more of a challenge.

The pattern is simple, with cables twisting up the ankle, reminiscent of bougainvillea vines trailing up the sides of buildings.

I picked up this hand painted yarn while in San Francisco, and it reminds me of the bougainvillea that grew along the houses I saw while walking through Russian Hill.
