Making of Molly, Billy’s friend. Molly, like Billy, has a movable jaw for added expressiveness (or so I am hoping for at this point). She also is the first doll that has one hand with movable fingers, which is stolen from traditional Japanese BUNRAKU puppets; however, these puppets are carved from wood and much larger, mine are from clay and tiny, so any added extravaganza in terms of complicated joints or additional moving features are a tricky quest.
