By the heading I’ve chosen, you probably won’t be surprised when I tell you that the costume I designed for my Friar Laurence to wear in the stop-motion video I’m producing of Romeo and Juliet is quite popular with Sunday School teachers. I guess they use it to make costumes for Father Christmas, Jesus, holiday angels, and various Bible characters. I’ve received a number of emails … Continue reading #Medieval monk or #SundaySchool character #DIY project w/free pattern @ ChellyWood.com

I’ve posted patterns for his costume, plus video tutorials showing how to make his pants, shirt, doublet, and even his sword and sheath. I chose this doll to play Romeo because he has such a handsome, serious, lovelorn face. It also helps that he’s very flexible, bending at … Continue reading #TexasA&M Ken Doll Starring as Romeo in #Shakespeare’s #RomeoandJuliet

They sort of look like Jesus’ sandals, don’t … Continue reading Here’s the #FriarLawrence Theatrical #Costume that I Made for My #Texas A&M Ken Doll!
