Sensei Pantaleon - Сенсей Пантелеймон

Privet! Hi!

Резюме. Познакомтесь с Пантелеймоном Максимовичем. Это мой первый кукл, точнее куклак. Сделан на день рождения моему крестнику. Максиму, естественно. А сенсей он потому, что рукава у него... сенсейские.

  Last week I made another friend - my fist man doll  (kuklak in russian). He is made for my god-son, Maxime, so the doll is called Panteleimon Maksomovitch.

What does mean Maximovitch?

A respectful way to call a person in Russian is by his First name joined by Otchestvo (отчество), a middle name derived from father's name and meaning literally "the sun of ... ".

The second question you may ask, why Sensei?

Well, look a the sleeves.  I simply miscalculated the width of the shirt sleeves and made it far too wide for a Russian traditional shirt. It gives a Japanese touch to the whole Panteleimon's look.

To make Panteleimon a real friend fror a boy, I gave him "stone fists": the hand tissue wraps a real stone for each fist.

Will this be a nice story when boy plays doll? 

Yours

Kukliki
