OOAK Arts and Crafts

The Acronym for One Of A Kind OOAK "One of a Kind Arts and Crafts" seems to have originated on the internet. I found this definition in wikipedia but it has since been removed, since no real consensus on what it defines can be agreed upon. "OOAK stands for "one of a kind," which is an acronym that is widely used on the Internet by artists who make original items such as jewelry, artist dolls, fashion dolls, reborn baby dolls, sculptures, and clothing."
