I’m wrapping up my Romeo and Juliet posts with a feature on Romeo’s costume this week. As my regular followers know, I’m making a stop-motion film of Romeo and Juliet, using dolls as the actors. My Texas A&M Ken will be playing Romeo, and for him, I’ve designed a romantic cavalier costume, as shown below. This week’s posts will include a brand new pattern for … Continue reading Make a #Cavalier Costume for Your Ken Doll @ ChellyWood.com #DollClothes #DollMaking

Those were all, pretty much, patterns that I’ve had posted on my website for a while now. But in the next two weeks, I’ll be posting some new patterns, starting with the pattern for Juliet’s wedding gown. My … Continue reading New Free #Sewing #Patterns for #MomokoDoll @ ChellyWood.com

Articulated Ken Doll Plays Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet Stop-Motion Show #Dollstagram #Dolls #Barbies

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 Romeo and Juliet Stop-Motion Show #Dollstagram #Dolls #Barbies

#Hasbro’s #Soul #Doll Plays Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet @ chellywood.com

If you ask me which doll was my all-time favorite as a child, it was my cousin’s Soul doll, from the Hasbro World of Love collection. Whenever my cousin Virginia and I got together, I would beg her to let me play with Soul. Why? That doll was just plain gorgeous! Her long eyelashes framed big eyes. Her chocolate skin was so unique among Barbie-like dolls of the … Continue reading #Hasbro’s #Soul #Doll Plays Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet @ chellywood.com

Christie as #Juliet’s nurse in #Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet #Edchat @ ChellyWood.com

Before people get all in-my-face about an African-American doll playing a servant in my upcoming stop-motion film of Romeo and Juliet with dolls, let me remind you that Romeo’s cousin, Benvolio, is also played by an AA doll, as is Friar Laurence. I also think that Juliet’s nurse is a very important character in this play–she’s practically Juliet’s best friend and mother figure–so hers is a … Continue reading Christie as #Juliet’s nurse in #Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet #Edchat @ ChellyWood.com

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

Lady Capulet is Juliet’s mother in William Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. As most of you know, I’m making a stop-motion video of Romeo and Juliet, using Barbies and other dolls as the movie stars. Doesn’t Barbie make a lovely Lady Capulet?

#Twilight #JacksonRathbone Doll to Play Father Capulet in #Dolly Version of Romeo and Juliet

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 #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
