SpaceX Crew-10 folds traits, hopes into origami crane zero-g indicator

What do you get when you fold together the ambitions and contributions of four space station-bound astronauts from the United States, Japan and Russia? A zero-g indicator in the form of an origami crane.

Minutes after arriving in Earth orbit, the members of Crew-10 — SpaceX's tenth operational mission to the International Space Station under NASA's commercial crew program — revealed their choice for the traditional plush toy used to signal they entered the microgravity environment of outer space.

The article includes images of a similar crocheted origami crane found on Etsy, but as Kim, the creative mind and origami aficionado behind Orikim, readily admits, she did not make the crane now in space.

If anyone learns who did create the Crew-10 zero-g indicator, please share it here. Anne McClain only said it was a small business owner in the United States.

I think the one that I received is very close if not the same as the Crew-10 ZGI.

(It also looks like I really need a new shelf!)
