The image above shows one of the dolls who’ll be playing a minor character in my doll stop-motion version of Romeo and Juliet. The costume looks a lot like a musketeer costume, like you might see in Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers.

In the past few months, on ChellyWood.com, I’ve been getting requests for more modern clothes for male dolls. Since I really like the flexibility of the highly articulated Liv Dolls, I thought I’d design some clothes for my male Liv Doll, Jake (from Spin master). These dolls are no longer in production, but they’re available used, if you wish to buy them on eBay. Sometimes I’ll … Continue reading Sew a Ken doll clothes suit and tie w/ free pattern @ ChellyWood.com #dollzone #dollstagram

Articulated Ken Doll Plays Mercutio in #StopMotion #Shakespeare Play @ ChellyWood.com #Theater

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 #StopMotion #Shakespeare Play @ ChellyWood.com #Theater

Ryan to #Play Montague in #BarbieDolls Version of #RomeoJuliet @ ChellyWood.com

Lord Montague’s costume uses the same pattern as the prince’s. 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 need… This is the tunic pattern, and although the pattern itself looks a little complicated, it’s actually not that hard … Continue reading Ryan to #Play Montague in #BarbieDolls Version of #RomeoJuliet @ ChellyWood.com

No, I didn’t get the actor, Jackson Rathbone, to voice Father Capulet in my upcoming Romeo and Juliet video. 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 Free #RenaissanceFaire Costume Pattern to Fit #Jasper Doll @ ChellyWood.com #Twilight

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 My #StopMotion #RomeoJuliet #Stars Ken and Barbie w/ FREE Patterns @ ChellyWood.com
