Barbie and Friends | An overview of how I made Richard Sherwoods Romeo costume last year
Barbie and Friends(This was featured on Instagram last year) I made this costume for my art doll Richard Sherwood (Ricky) based on a costume that Leslie Howard wore in the 1936 movie Romeo and Juliet. It was a difficult project, and since this film, I did finish the last thing...the cording on the sleeves. I sculpted Richard head, painted the face, and rooted the hair, then placed his head on a modified 'Made to Move' Ken doll body.49 views 3 comments
