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.

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.
