Folding 1000 Cranes

You've probably heard the story of the sick girl who was told to fold 1000 cranes, so that she might be healed. Have you ever wondered what so many cranes would look like and what you would do with so many?

The cranes each measure approximately one inch and are interlocking. Below is a close-up.

Wishing you good health!
