Very cute one, Suba. Still I'm not able to understand. Can you please explain me in detail what she has used for the neck portion. Is it only sponge or has she stuffed anything inside to make the neck strong.

The coconut base - is it with the skin or after removing the skin (marathula irundhu paritha muzhu thengaya, illa andha thola urithu thengaya).
