Ryan to Play #Montague in #Dolly Version of #RomeoAndJuliet @ ChellyWood.com

Lord Montague’s costume uses the same pattern as the prince’s, but I believe this is a brand-new pattern for my website. I don’t think I’ve posted this one before. It’s a slashed-sleeve Renaissance tunic with pants, and for old Montague, I’ve included a black muffin cap to top it all off. Want to make a costume like this for your ken dolls? Here’s what you … Continue reading Ryan to Play #Montague in #Dolly Version of #RomeoAndJuliet @ ChellyWood.com

Rather, I chose his facsimile to remake OOAK-style into a Father Capulet doll for our Theater of Yore production. Want to see him in full costume, after the remake? Here’s a link to a picture of the doll after the make-under, including his face re-paint and wig (to … Continue reading #Twilight #JacksonRathbone Doll to Play Father Capulet in #Dolly Version of Romeo and Juliet

#OOAK Ryan Doll to Play Count #Paris in My Stop-motion #RomeoJuliet Video on YouTube

In case you don’t remember Romeo and Juliet from your high school days, Count Paris is the gentleman to whom Juliet is actually engaged, when she meets Romeo. I had a tough time casting this part, but I settled on a somewhat flexible Ryan doll to play Paris. Why was this a hard decision to make? Well first of all, Paris is supposed to be … Continue reading #OOAK Ryan Doll to Play Count #Paris in My Stop-motion #RomeoJuliet Video on YouTube
