An OOAK or one-of-a-kind is a doll that has been created by me from a commercially purchased doll. The factory paint is removed, as are any plastic inset eyes and/or hair. The blank doll is used as a canvas to create a unique character, or era. Soft glass silicone eyes are inserted for realism, and all dolls have applied upper lashes , realistic high quality wigs. Clothing patterns and costumes are custom designed and sewn by me using high quality fabrics, trims, and laces. Each doll is an individual work of art.
