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.

This is a photograph of an African American Barbie doll standing in front of a garden gate, wearing a shift gown with puffy sleeves and a narrow waist. This basic dress pattern is used for the undergarments in a number of Renaissance dress costumes on the ChellyWood.com website (for fashion dolls).

We’re on the set of Romeo and Juliet today, watching the filming of Act 4, Scene 3 from behind the scenes. Check out that little clapboard I made from iClipart! (I just shrunk it down and printed it on cardstock paper, using two brads and an extra piece of black scrapbook paper for a hinge.) The doll who’s working the clapboard is my Traveler doll … Continue reading #Shakespeare’s #RomeoJuliet with #Dolls @ ChellyWood.com will be a sight to see!

Here we see a Mattel Barbie wearing a wig of dishwater blond curls that coil down her back. She's also wearing a slightly different version of the Basque ball gown pattern from ChellyWood.com (search for "Basque" to find that yellow dress with tiny red flowers and a snood). On top of this Barbie's head is a burgundy-colored tiara that's framed in wine-colored tulle. It's held on her head by a thin piece of elastic.

This photo shows two Renaissance style chairs made of cardboard. They have an oriental cotton fabric that creates a plush look to the back, arm rests, and seat of each chair. The seats have tassels hanging down. the back has embroidery floss fringe that hangs from the back to the seat. There are small iron or brass looking buttons on the back of the chair. The legs of the chairs make a sort of X like chromosomes, and they are decorated with fleur de lis patterns in black marker. The legs are layered in a row of four sections to keep the chairs standing upright under the weight of a seated doll (although no doll is shown). The two chairs are elegantly poised at a 45 degree angle to one another.

This is actually one of the oldest patterns I created, back when I first turned ChellyWood.com into a blog about doll crafting. Because of that, you’ll have to excuse the poor quality of the video. It was an early attempt at self-made videos. (I’m a little embarrassed to post it!) However the video does explain the steps to making this Renaissance-style 1:6 scale chair quite … Continue reading #DIY cardboard #dolls’ furniture for your #DollHouse w/ free pattern @ ChellyWood.com

Here we see a Ken doll wearing an auburn wig in a hairstyle that was common during the middle ages. His vest is red with gold rickrack. His puff sleeves are made of floral cotton in a gold print. His bi colored trousers are red and white striped on one leg and gold on the other. He wears black boots made of craft felt. He stands in a ballroom with a bust of Shakespeare behind him. On the wall is a family crest in red and blue cotton hanging with a drape effect. The crest symbol is a gold cross. There's a door to the doll's left, as if he could exit the room whenever he's ready.
