posing with the Vanessa Ives #EvaGreen) ventriloquist doll FUN FACT: The producers of #PennyDreadful hired sculptor Paul Spateri to design and make the dolls. It took Paul 3-4 weeks to make the dolls. The dolls' eyes were hand painted instead of giving them glass eyes to give the idea that it was really Evelyn Poole #HelenMcCrory) who made the dolls herself. Once the dolls were finished, animatronics was applied to make the dolls move. For the Vanessa Ives doll, Paul printed pictures of Eva from different angles to accurately capture her facial and bone structure and make the Vanessa Ives doll look exactly like Eva.
