One-of-a-kind (OOAK) polymer clay dolls have turned into a wonderful collectable industry. Creating OOAK dolls provides a medium to create anything you can imagine, breaking free of the limited appearances of traditional doll making.
I am constantly working on this site and my goal is to provide you with an arsenal of free beginner tutorials enabling YOU to start making your own dolls. It's such a wonderful craft and is truly healing. I hope this site can change your life- just like doll making changed mine.
