puppetmaker: (Secret of Sherlock Holmes)
We saw an amazing movie this year entitled Kubo and the two strings that is well worth your time if you haven’t seen it. It was an original story made to seem like a Japanese folk tale. A big part of it was origami and the creation of things with the power of paper.

Two of the villains of the piece are know as the Sisters. They are searching for Kubo for their father. Their design caught Caroline’s attention and after seeing the film she asked if it would be possible to make the animated character into a Halloween costume.

This is a maquette of one of the sisters from Kubo

(for the VI; This is a statue of the Sister. She has a black hat, purple pants, armor, a sword in her left hand and a pipe in her right, along with a very intricate cape>

This is what she wanted. We discussed for a while how we wanted to do this and decided that we wanted to make as much as we could out of paper to keep the origami theme going in the costume.
