A special Chinese Kokeshi ???

 A Japanese Kokeshi Doll made for a half Chinese boy!  His Mom ordered this as a Christmas Gift for him.  They are always teasing one another about his Chinese heritage.  This doll was a special Christmas tree ornament to him from his Mom ( who is Chinese) =).
 He is studying civil engineering in college and loves computers, so his Mom wanted him in the traditional Chinese dress with something to do with civil engineering.  Hence the lap top, game control, and the blue prints, and drafting tools!
 He had long hair until just before Christmas, when he cut it all off to a crew cut!  So the pony tail out the back was also a request by his Mom, to remember his long hair!  This doll was fun to make and the personal touches from Mom to Son made it very meaningful for them and for me.
