You may want to study pictures of the original Hitty before you begin carving, and keep them on hand for reference as you work. Create a carving blank from a pattern (or this pattern ), or purchase a wooden Hitty carving blank from one of many sources. Hitty Coal is carved from basswood. Using the pictures in the collage pages at left, carve Hitty's body, arms, legs, hair, etc, until she is ready for face carving. This tutorial will focus on carving Hitty's face.
