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

All good things must come to an end, and this week, my computer gave up the ghost. So even though I’ve completed the prototype I was working on for Tall Barbie, everyone is going to have to wait even longer until my computer returns from the fix-it shop. Hopefully they can revive it. If not, it may be quite a while before I can post … Continue reading Make a #Renaissance Cloak and Miniature #Sword for Your #Dollstagram @ ChellyWood.com

Please forgive the poor quality of this video; it’s one of the first doll diorama tutorials I ever created.

You may have seen the finished chairs, though, as they appear in several scenes of my Romeo and Juliet stop-motion film. This chair may … Continue reading #ooak Renaissance chair tutorial @ ChellyWood.com #dollcollector #monsterhigh

Since I’ve been busy designing sewing patterns for Lammily LLC (see last Thursday’s post for details), some of my FB friends and followers have asked whether or not Romeo and Juliet is still a go. The answer, of course, is emphatically YES. In fact, just recently I’ve designed a Momoko funerary gown for the final act, even though I’m still filming Act IV. Stop-motion photography … Continue reading #RomeoAndJuliet is still underway #BarbieStyle @ ChellyWood.com #dollstagram
