Hitty Dolls

I really enjoyed the

articles in

Woodcarving

Illustrated

Fall 2017

(Issue 80), especially

“Woodcarver of the Year,”

featuring Janet Cordell.

I would love to read an

article about Hitty dolls,

perhaps with a carving

pattern. I became so

interested in Janet’s work

that I stopped reading the

magazine midway to find

her website. I would love to

know more about her small dolls.

Editor’s Reply: We published a baby doll pattern

from Janet in Issue 63 (Summer 2013), and she

teaches classes on carving Hitty. I hope those

resources will help you learn more!

Chip-Carved Santa

I adapted Dave Stetson’s “Simple Santa” from

Woodcarving Illustrated

Holiday 2016 (Issue

77) to include chip-carved designs.

When I received

Woodcarving Illustrated

Holiday 2016 (Issue 77) and saw the article

“Bringing Home the Tree” by Russell Scott,

I was inspired to make my own version.

The choice of what car to carve was simple

because I own two vintage Volkswagens. I

carved the car from basswood and attached

wheels made from dowel.

The headlights are thumbtacks that are

painted silver. I painted the car and tree

with acrylic paints.
