Tag: Romeo and Juliet

In a turquoise blue linen square thumbnail frame, we read the words "Romeo and Juliet Act 4" above the Chelly Wood dot com logo. Beside this series of texts, we also see an image of a male and female doll, dressed in Renaissance or medieval doll clothes, and the two dolls are clearly holding hands.

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. The words "free pattern" appear above and slightly at an angle to the photo. There's a ChellyWood.com logo in one corner.

In a purple frame, a doll wearing Renaissance clothes including a cloak, the harlequin tunic, and bicolored pants, holds up a handmade wine bottle. The words over this photo say, "free pattern" and the ChellyWood.com logo appears in one corner. The photo of the doll is from Chelly Wood's "Romeo and Juliet with Dolls," a stop motion video.

This thumbnail image shows a purple cotton fabric background with tiny white polka dots. On top of this layer is a photo of a Texas A&M articulated Ken doll wearing a handmade monk's or Priest's robe with medieval or Renaissance style hood over the top of the robe with its long sleeves. The Image has the following text to the left of the photo of the doll in Priest or Jesus robes: free pattern and Chelly Wood. This photo is supposed to represent Friar Laurence (sometimes spelled Friar Lawrence) from ChellyWood.com's production of "Romeo and Juliet" with dolls, a stop motion video graphic novel.

Which Romeo and Juliet do you like best? Please VOTE! #GraphicNovel #LiteraryClassics

As some of my regular followers already know, I’ve created three acts of Romeo and Juliet in stop motion, but the fourth and fifth acts have not yet been completed. (My shortened version didn’t do well on YouTube, so I removed it.) And many of you know that I’m both a school librarian and a writer. As such, I’m aware that schoolteachers all over the … Continue reading Which Romeo and Juliet do you like best? Please VOTE! #GraphicNovel #LiteraryClassics

Behind the Scenes @ ChellyWood.com : a doll’s ball gown #dollstyle #dollphotographer

Back when I first started this website, my main purpose for posting patterns was to simply log my progress with my Romeo and Juliet video creations. In those days, this site was more of a photo-journal of my personal journey than a place to share my talent as a pattern designer. My early patterns were all hand-drawn, and measurements were not double-checked. However some of … Continue reading Behind the Scenes @ ChellyWood.com : a doll’s ball gown #dollstyle #dollphotographer

Romeo and Juliet With #Dolls #StopMotion #Theater, Act 3

Things get heated up between the Capulets and the Montagues, in this, my third installment of Romeo and Juliet With Dolls. All of the dolls in this video are re-painted and all of them wear wigs, in true thespian style. But in spite of their theater makeup and disguising attire, can you name the dolls? Which doll is playing the part of Romeo? Who’s playing … Continue reading Romeo and Juliet With #Dolls #StopMotion #Theater, Act 3

#Sew a #Dolls’ #Renaissance hat w/FREEpattern

This week I finally released “Act I” of my stop-motion Romeo and Juliet video with dolls. Because it has taken me four years to complete this production, I’m very excited but also feeling a little nostalgic. So this week we’re taking a look back at one of the earliest patterns I offered on ChellyWood.com, back in 2014, when I first started making my free doll … Continue reading #Sew a #Dolls’ #Renaissance hat w/FREEpattern
