Exciting news! My Etsy shop was recently mentioned in a collectSPACE article about the SpaceX Crew-10 mission and its unique zero-gravity indicator—a hand-crocheted origami crane named “Droog.” 🕊️
To clarify, I did not create Droog, the crane that flew with the astronauts. However, the article included my Etsy shop as an alternative for anyone interested in purchasing a similar hand-crocheted origami crane. Seeing my work listed in connection to such a historic mission is a huge honor!
The crew’s choice of an origami crane as their zero-g indicator is especially meaningful—it’s a universal symbol of peace, hope, and perseverance. I love that something as delicate as a crane played a small but special role in the mission, helping the astronauts confirm when they reached microgravity.
