Topi Volanti (flying mice) Circus Costume
IG: @TsunamiOriginals
Every year for Halloween I try to challenge myself to a new material/process/art medium. For 2022, I wanted to explore paper clay and I've always wanted to learn how to make a marionette. Once the marionette was underway a whole story and concept evolved into a full costume!
