Category: Romeo & Juliet

Chelly Wood loves Shakespeare! She has taken stop-motion and still footage of all five acts of Romeo and Juliet. Follow ChellyWood1 on YouTube to see each section of the production as it unfolds.

The image shows the Chelly Wood doll (really a Spin Master Liv doll that has had her hair died and her face repainted to look like the real doll clothing designer, Chelly Wood) staring at the camera over the top of her lowered glasses. The photo is superimposed over a swatch of turquoise blue linen fabric with the word "hashtag goals" over the top of the photo. In the lower left corner, we see the ChellyWood.com logo.

On a purple square background with tiny white polka dots, we see the words "free patterns" accompanied by a photo of a classic vintage Barbie modeling a wedding dress with puff sleeves. The watermark says "Chelly Wood," the name of a website where you can print free PDF sewing patterns for dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

A purple cotton fabric frame (with tiny white polka dots) surrounds a photo of a Ken doll walking through what almost looks like white snow. He wears black felt boots, a pair of rust colored trousers, an off-white or ivory colored shirt with lace cuffs, and a long brown cloak.
