Bundles of Joy - Babies Sweet and Tender

by Pam North

Tiffany Campbell is the sole artist behind Sweet Sunrise Nursery, located in the lovely pine barrens of New Jersey, where she lives with her husband and their two children. She graduated from Stockton University with a BA in visual communication, concentrating on graphic design. While in college she took courses in sculpting, painting, drawing, printmaking, and photography, giving her a solid background in the arts. “It was a wonderful experience, as I was able to take classes that allowed me to experience all different kinds of media,” she explained. “I always have gravitated toward people as subjects for my work, whether it be photography or sculpting, so discovering the doll world basically has been perfect for me. Although I have been an artist my whole life, I had never heard of a 'reborn’ doll until I stumbled upon one on YouTube. I instantly was amazed and intrigued!”
 Tiffany now paints blank vinyl reborn kits, and her own silicone editions, and sculpts for the purpose of reproduction. “I am somewhat new to the doll industry, “she continued. “My journey into this wonderful art began in February 2013. From there I basically dove in headfirst; I made my first reborn, Molly. and by spring, 2015, I had started sculpting my own editions to be produced in silicone. At the time I had no idea where this new discovery would lead, but since then I have created well over 150 reborn babies, and released 5 original silicone editions of my own. I have a new, limited edition, full-body silicone baby, Cirrus, due to be released this summer.” 
She didn’t have any formal training with doll making or sculpting babies, but she has been an artist her entire life. “My mother is a natural-born artist, so as a child, I always was exposed to artistic expression and creativity. I also had the opportunity to work with many different media in college, so it wasn’t a far leap for me to start a new craft.”
Inspiration is close at hand for Tiffany. “My kids are my inspiration. Their features come through a lot in my art. My son’s facial features turn up often in my sculpting, and I paint one of my daughter’s signature veining patterns on all of my dolls. My dolls are a great way to capture those first precious memories of a baby’s innocence in a tangible form forever. All my babies  are made with quality craftsmanship, love, and care. Not only are they cute, but they are very snuggly. They are weighted so that when one picks them up, they feel as close as possible to a real baby. They are painted with quality paints, and their rooted hair is made from premium mohair. If taken care of properly, my babies can be enjoyed as heirloom pieces and huggable art for years and generations to come.” She sells her products on her website, Facebook, and Instagram.” 
Tiffany derives a deep satisfaction in what she does, “What I love most about doll making is so much more than just the dolls themselves. I love that I am able to deliver happiness to someone’s heart, that my art can give a joyful experience. Dolls will evolve and change in media, but as long as there are people on this earth, we artists will make dolls for them to love!”
Tiffany already is looking ahead for new horizons for her creations. “I have teamed up with D3 Creations to cast my latest full body sculpt, Cirrus, a limited edition, into silicone slated for summer 2018.”
