Introduction Hi, my name is Kori Leppart, I am a professional doll artist and artist member of ODACA (Original Doll Artist Council of America). I have been creating one of a kind (OOAK) dolls since 1997. In 2000, I opened a cafe and put my doll-making asside to concentrate on my new business. I started sculpting again in 2008 and have been going strong ever since! In the last two years I have won four awards for my work and have been published in DOLLS, Contemporary Doll Collector, Doll Crafter, Dollhouse World Magazine, etc. My work has appeared in countless fine boutiques and galleries worldwide. I recently started to make ball joint dolls (BJDs), out of both polymer clay and stone clay and gofun. I am also writing a book on the subject to be published sometime in 2012-2013.
