Hitty with a Hitty

Dolls need their own dolls.

Hitty loves her wooden carved doll, made in her likeness.

Here, she sings her doll a lullaby.

She can stand and hold her doll.

Hitty also has an old bear for a friend.  This Hitty girl is a little over 6 inches.  She is made from cloth and has a wire armature inside of her body so that she can be posed.  Her hands and feet are carved from basswood.  Her head is sculpted from paper clay and covered with a layer of cotton stockinette, then painted.  Her little doll is about 4 inches tall.  She is jointed at the arms and legs with tiny dowels.
