In this macro photo, we see a ‘micro’ origami crane folded using the tip of an X-Acto knife. The crane measures: 6mm square paper, 4mm wingspan, 3mm body; and was done by animator Joaquin Baldwin and posted to Reddit yesterday.

The paper used was a super fine piece called colored Gampi paper. He says it took him about 30 minutes. You can find additional shots of the miniature crane here.
