Introducing Hitty Number Five

Now we know that Hitty Winifred Octavius arrived safely in her new home we can introduce Hitty Five - who is still with-holding her name from us....  She started out as the fourth Hitty to be carved, but was actually the fifth finished.  



Hitty Five - yet to be named.


She wanted an outfit like her sister Hitty Winifred Octavius

We had to use what materials we had to hand to make their dresses and didn't have enough black for the inside brim of her hat.  There are no shops local to us that stock fabrics, felt and trimmings unfortunately, but in the true spirit of  'Make Do' that is what we did.



So tell us your name little one?

Working on Hitty Number Four


One of my WIP photos for June & July...

I have made progress on one of the Hittys...just not the walnut one which is like carving concrete!

So far this is where I have got up to with Hitty Number 4


I am a bit stumped on the mouth...I can't figure out how on earth to carve a mouth and lips!


She still needs some 'fine tuning'


But is slowly getting there.


I quite like the side profiles...


It is just the face on one that is still not quite right.  I think her head needs to be rounded more.  Plus her legs need to be worked on.
