Does the cost include cranes or framing?
It does include the frame! Cranes cost extra if Origami Designs provides the folded cranes. . Many choose to follow the tradition and fold the cranes. Some fold to save money. Origami Designs charges $500 to fold the 1000 cranes (this includes the cost of the papers) and we need three months notice to fold the cranes. Other artists might insist on folding the cranes to insure quality of folding and they in turn charge more for the finished piece, adding in this cost. I give you the option and reveal the cost breakdown.
It does include a simple suitable frame In 2010 the cost to frame has gone up, unfortunately. Shiny black lacquer look frames are more expensive. Frames with gold trim cost more. Silver frames cost more, and these frames in metal cost more. If you select a silver design on blue fabric and want a silver frame, I might quote a little higher for the finished mosaic.
