ST. GEORGE — From paper cranes to glass-encased roses, one woman with nimble fingers and a creative spirit is transforming simple paper folds into art and jewelry.

"I've had dreams of folding origami," Brianna Adams said. "Sometimes when I can't fall asleep, I go over the folds in my head."

Adams turns paper origami into fashion and decor, including earrings, necklaces, hanging car mirror decor, jewelry dishes and more. Her items span from dragons and delicate roses to butterflies and boxes, with stars sprinkled in for a touch of magic. Her main specialty? Paper cranes.

Adding to the uniqueness of Adams' art are her pint-sized cranes, which all began with a challenge: folding a crane from a 6-by-6-inch piece of paper. From there, her obsession with miniaturization only grew, leading to even smaller and more intricate creations.
