It is actually made from a rose petal (by me)!
What's different about this miniature origami crane?

Hi @thedegensloth, thanks for the comment. The guiness world record is 0.7mm x 0.7mm, so I am still a long way off:

Hi @bluescreen, thank you for the nice comments. Not sure if you can see all the fine details of the rose petal in the picture but I am glad you liked it :)

Hi @plushzilla, thanks for your recent comments on my post. I was intrigued by your tagline and went looking for an origami crane... and found one here :)
I took @bluescreen's advice to right-click and view the larger version of the image. Very impressive origami! Is there a way to preserve the rose petal or will it slowly decay?

@edward.maesen - I am glad that someone finally noticed and asked the question :D
You can probably preserve it using some form of resin, and I know that @nature.art is someone on Steemit that creates jewellery out of flowers. But I think one of the wonderful things about the art that I choose to do is that like a bunch of flowers it doesn't last forever. This resonates with my personal philosophy that the 'art' is more important than the 'artwork', and so the 'artist' is more valuable to the community than the money that they can earn. I hope this is something that the Steemians can take to heart :)

I appreciate the transitory ephemeral nature of the medium. Like a Tibetan mandala that is wiped clean shortly after it is finished..
I have a similar feeling when I spend a long time with my young son to set up a domino trajectory, only to see it fall down in just a few seconds time soon after it is finished.

I should add that once you remove the moisture, flower petals are rather hardy and can last for quite some time (I still have the original crane that I made from about a year ago) but the colours will start to fade if you continue to expose it to air and light, even if it is preserved in resin.

Ah yes that makes sense. Especially red colors are prone to fade under the influence of light.
