Articulated Ken Doll Plays Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet Stop-Motion Show #Dollstagram #Dolls #Barbies

I chose this picture of Mercutio, because you can kind of see how silly and fun his character is in my stop-motion film of Romeo and Juliet. In the original Shakespeare play, Mercutio is a relative of the prince, but his personality is goofy, silly, and just plain fun! I’m having a blast putting him in comical scenes with Benvolio as his sidekick. I had to … Continue reading Articulated Ken Doll Plays Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet Stop-Motion Show #Dollstagram #Dolls #Barbies

#Hasbro’s #Soul #Doll Plays Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet @ chellywood.com

If you ask me which doll was my all-time favorite as a child, it was my cousin’s Soul doll, from the Hasbro World of Love collection. Whenever my cousin Virginia and I got together, I would beg her to let me play with Soul. Why? That doll was just plain gorgeous! Her long eyelashes framed big eyes. Her chocolate skin was so unique among Barbie-like dolls of the … Continue reading #Hasbro’s #Soul #Doll Plays Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet @ chellywood.com

Christie as #Juliet’s nurse in #Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet #Edchat @ ChellyWood.com

Before people get all in-my-face about an African-American doll playing a servant in my upcoming stop-motion film of Romeo and Juliet with dolls, let me remind you that Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio, is also played by an AA doll, as is Friar Laurence. I also think that Juliet’s nurse is a very important character in this play–she’s practically Juliet’s best friend and mother figure–so hers is a … Continue reading Christie as #Juliet’s nurse in #Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet #Edchat @ ChellyWood.com

I’ve cast my Finnick Odair doll to play Tybalt in my upcoming dolly version of Shakespeare’s classic, Romeo and Juliet.

Check out the still shot from my film below, then scroll down for the free printable sewing patterns and tutorials for the costume he’s wearing.

I recently filmed the scene where Romeo tells Friar Laurence that he and Juliet want to get married. It was a really fun scene, because my friar reacts with such emotion!
