Crafty Tuesday: The Making of a Mask

This past summer Caroline went with Peter to watch the recording of his next episode of Young Justice. While there she met Kelly Hu who is the voice of Stacy on Phineas and Ferb and Lady Deathstrike in X-2. Kelly was at the recording because on Young Justice she is Cheshire who is a villain in the YJ universe. Kelly and Caroline got along really well and Caroline came home and announced that she wanted to be Cheshire for Halloween.

I waited for a while to make sure that that was her final answer on Halloween. But it stayed all through August and September.

Now yesterday night was the Harvest Dance at her school. The kids show up in costume but heaven forefend we should call it the Halloween Dance. I did dress up in my X-men First Class uniform and took Lockheed with me. I got rated cool by both children and parents who recognized the outfit. Caroline was impressing the older kids and scaring the younger ones and having a blast. Anyway, I had to have draft one of her costume done by the dance. Having had it at the dance, we found out a few things I need to fix by Monday for Trick or treating.

So this past week has been costuming. Behind the cut are photos of Caroline’s costume, the making of the Mask, and a photo of the character it is based on.

I am grateful that the costume went over as well as it did.
