they visited the UFDC Doll Museum where they met officers Loretta
Nardone and Maryll Goldsmith. During a discussion about their dolls,
their history and costuming, there just happened to be a recent issue
of the Dolls Beautiful magazine within reach. One of the feature articles
focused on this year's convention souvenir in a traditional folk costume.
The discussion led to an invitation for the pair to submit a souvenir
candidate for one of UFDC's Convention meal events. Sophie and Jennie
were off and running, creating the souvenir doll for "A Russian Fantasy"
Luncheon.

SUMMER 2018

As a child Sophie was never much interested in dolls. She gained
an interest and inspiration after reading an issue of Doll Crafter magazine
and realized that she could make her own dolls. That 1990 revelation
started a creative and educational journey that continues to this day. As a
student, she learned about the creation of modern dolls in the basement
of her instructor's home, spending two to three nights a week with
other students. After four years of "apprenticing," Sophie was driven
to learn more about the process of firing, cleaning porcelain, mixing
paint with water-based media, and the art of painting facial details -
especially the eyes. She joined the Doll Artisan Guild (DAG) and found
herself immersed in the world of antique dolls. Although she was not
initially fond of them, she learned techniques that ultimately led to her
Master and Grand Master certifications. Sophie used her new skills and
appellations, to open a dollmaking studio in her own basement. Her
students, like Sophie, were only interested in the modern dolls.
Sophie's drive was to continue to learn through DAG workshops.
The doll-making malaise had taken hold and she was taking an interest
in antique dolls. The French Bru and Jumeau, along with the German
Googly, started 'casting their spells'. She retired from her full-time job
and moved her studio out of the basement and into a shop. Like so
many people in early 2000, with a declining economy, Sophie had to
make some hard decisions including the closing of the brick and mortar
portion of her business. Without the anchor of a physical business,
Sophie was able to put more time into pursuing dollmaking, turning
an obsession into a life style. She added antique reproductions to the
modern dolls in her inventory. She began setting up at shows and
conventions with her dolls, supplies and doll-related accessories. At
UFDC's annual conventions, she was able to share and teach the skills
she acquired and meet others who were willing to share the same. Along
the way, Sophie developed a true passion for French fashion dolls and
their wardrobes.
Today, she strives toward further education about these fascinating
dolls, including taking classes, reading and creating. She continues to do
her best to inspire others who share a passion for dollmaking, serving
as a 'tour guide' along this truly diverse, historical, educational and
fascinating journey.
