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.

A WIP Challenge - 1st Finish

Over on the Hitty Girls group there is a a 'Finish WIP Challenge for May' going on.  We have rather a few WIP in the pipeline and finally finished one today.

Now this is what it looked like - it is going to be a braided rug believe it or not.  Unfortunately we discovered that we have lost the instructions and as such decided to undo what we had done, and machine sew the braids together instead of hand sew them.  It was easier on the hands and also enabled it to like flatter.  However, in the process we misplaced the purple braid!  Oh well, never mind.  Of course it was found once the rug was finished.

Hitty Moana, Becassine, the new girl, Hitty Carol Faith and Hitty Annabelle admire the new rug. 

Yes it will do quite nicely.
