ZinZy20/20 Court Shoe: Doll Shoe of the Year

---|---

Shoes are made, for comfort. 
Shoes are made, for style. 
Shoes make a statement.  
Shoes that honor and celebrate success.

Beauty of Creating, for June 2020, is proud to present: ZinZy20/20 Honor Court Shoe.

ZinZy20/20 Court Shoe is made of genuine Vegan Leather, hand & machine designed & crafted, bearing the Cerise Pink side stripes/tongue/toe guard. The shoe is offered in a white or black sole option.

***
How it began...

Nearly two years ago I sat down to draft a court shoe collection as it was the missing piece of the family of doll shoes, which supported my lifetime vision to improve the foot wear for Journey Girl Dolls.  Although the shoe has a flexible design to meet most 18" dolls shoe collection, as the flagship model, JG Dolls were the inspirational doll model.

As with everything, my quality control department supported the court shoe for a sell event, unanimously, but vetoed the accent color.  The shoe we expected to be featured did not meet the color standard for the project. For fashion, the shoe color is an important part of the composition.  As I was verklempt to see a single detail in what otherwise was deemed a fantastic shoe, it became clearer that something special would emerge.  Spectacular things often emerge from unanticipated events, places, or actions.  QC stated that "Bright Pink as the Stripes" would complete the project ensemble.

Every year Beauty of Creating perceives to honor those who inspire.  This year with the global pandemic COVID 19, quarantines which lead to a colossal disruption in our personal and occupational lives, it became evident as a retired educator just how significant the commencement of graduation is for the students self-esteem.  Time of dedication, then to have the plans disrupted for illness are the norm.  For the first time in our history we had nothing to compare this shortfall in the right of passage of scholarly matriculation. As students move on in spite of the amended ceremonies, I want them to look back on this historical event with the same or with an even greater pride than ever, to have not only survived the Pandemic of 2020, but achieved greatness in spite of it!

The ZinZy20/20 celebrates accomplishing great things in the face of the adversity.

Where did the name derive?

My nieces Zintoria (Salem High, Canton, MI) and Zy'Airia (Liberty Middle, Canton, MI) excelled, and matriculated their respective educational institutions this year in quarantine, resulting in a suspended school year, maligning their traditional regalia.

Where can you find the ZinZy20/20? 

Currently, the ZinZy20/20 is offered via direct sell, however it will soon be made available for cautious buyers on eBay and ETSY, featured with the Sport/Fit Chapter of Beauty of Creating, debuting with a special purchase code.

If you would like to have the court shoe ZinZy20/20 now, and get ahead of the rush to buy the limited installed release, you can message me on Instagram for further details.

Inspired by Ralph Lauren (Classic)

Always a fan of Ralph Lauren, believing he was a designer with an impeccable ability to create looks that were timeless, this look inspired me to create a signature BOC replica for our favorite, the Journey Girl Dolls.

Beauty of Creating, presents the inspired look of Ralph Lauren,
an 8 piece ensemble includes: oxford shirt, jeans, loafers with matching tote,
'dickie' collar, blazer, and glasses!

Where's the Pattern?

Upon seeing our fashions for Journey Girl Dolls displayed throughout various social media locations, many viewers have expressed a desire for the Beauty of Creating/Journey Girl Doll Clothing Patterns and sometimes follow with disappointment to hear they are unreleased.

But we hear you!

Drafting patterns for commercial use takes time to ensure all points and details are expressed for consumers to recreate the look as it was intended.  So, when we say 'not available yet' we are not being persnickety! 

Not all patterns will be released, but as soon as we have them available, we will release them for you to purchase.  In the meantime, feel free to shop leisurely at our eBay store for your favorite Journey Girl fashions, using the image/linked below:

American Girl Doll Clothes by B.O.C.

Lately, I have received a message inquiring if we design for the American Girl Dolls in my eStores.  We are open to direct sell customers, who would like a personal design by Beauty of Creating.  You may take a look at our Journey Girl Collections and message us for direct sell inquiries here, IG, Pinterest, or Facebook. 

We are considering offering a few options this year based on the highest demand of inquiry for our Journey Girl Dolls.  If the support returns favorable, we will be inspired to design more. 

How to gain our interest for AG Doll Clothes?  Support us on social media by commenting.  We want to hear from you. 

Journey Girl Dolls were and remain the flagship doll of support, despite their reduced inventory worldwide as a result of the liquidation of Toys 'R Us (TRU-US).  When we launched a tiny collection of clothes (Dec 2015), this doll inspired us like no other.  We were excited because we believed in Chavonne and this lead to us building a complete collector's haul. The support was tremendous, inspiring us to continue.  We did major investments towards gaining TRU some support for their Journey Girl Dolls.  We reached out to family and friends. We  pushed even harder in the 2016 and 2017, to very little return of interest.  Only a handful wanted the doll.  Many who said the price was too high turned to the AG doll that costs 3x the points of Journey Girl's.

The Journey Girl doll retailed at $40 at TRU.  When I began a partnership with TRU, I tracked and reported any and all sales on the dolls.  Very often the dolls dipped significantly to half price.  Smart shoppers stocked them high for future sale.  Those dolls immediately began to disperse at typical retail matched prices until the company released bankruptcy and dissolving their US stores.  The online/private sell prices began to increase due to the impending shortened supply.

I remain invested in the Journey Girl Doll.  Although I do not purchase at the same rate of past, I still collect these dolls.  I love sewing for them, dressing them, styling for them, and taking their photos.  Journey Girl Dolls keep me busy and they keep me inspired!  I have so much in store for them. I get goose-bumps just thinking about what is next! 

With that said, I am open to direct sell customers only who desire styles by Beauty of Creating for any doll of 18" that I can access.

Memory Calendar by Shutterfly

For the past three years, around the first of each year, the anticipatory event is a calendar.  And for each year, my desire to collate various shots of my Journey Girls just could not materialize.  I often had plenty of photos, but not an arrangement befitting a full year.

I made a goal for 2018: Fill in the gaps especially for the outfits that centered around a holiday, season, or theme.  I actually had enough to make this work!  The plan is for next year, repeat the same.  The months that are most lean on stock photo are from February - April.  I want my calendar ready to roll out as early as possible for 2020.

What could help me in this effort...I need the vendors to roll out the coupon codes in December.  The code sent to me by both JoAnn's and Kellogg's grants me a free 8x11 wall calendar.  I had the option to upgrade to the 12x12, but we'll see for next year, if all goes well!

The calendar delivers within the next  1-2 weeks.  I am anxious to see the results!  I promise to share and review.  Click the image below for a sneak peek!

BOC Doll Inspiration 60713 from McCall's 7757



this Beauty of Creating #BOC60713 doll inspiration 
comes courtesy of McCall's #7757 

***

Our Doll Mod: Journey Girl Mandolyn aka "Mandy"

***

The top is originally from #BOC40210 Off-Shoulder Series

We liked the top but added an additional row of ruffles.
For the bottom, we went straight to the design table to graph
an entirely new pair of pants with pockets.  
Maintaining most of the original,we kept the flare leg, 
but raised the hem to form capri's to showcase shoes!

***

The struggle to complete this outfit with shoes, was real!  There are so many colors in the bouquets beset on the fabric that everything and nothing looked perfect!  Mandy has beautiful blushing sun-kissed tones to her skin so we focused on pinks and buff yellow!

***

This outfit and many more from our design table 
will arrive shortly at our eBay location! 

Trivia:  How does Beauty of Creating numerate their patterns? Write your answer below for a chance to win this outfit!

Packing for the Doll Show...



Two days ago, we temporarily closed our 'direct sell' option to prepare the 6th Annual Detroit Doll Show (November 10 and November 11). We will resume on November 15th to honor all our of "special" customer requests.

You may continue to submit your orders or shop from our online display, but special requested items will be fulfilled after November 15th.  Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and your dollies!

While we are away, feel free to shop and grab all of the freebies you can for the duration of the October "Free-ky" Friday Promo.  Shop now, because of our limited creations, we will pull requested items from our eBay Collection for display at the Detroit Doll Show!  Hurry...Hurry...Hurry!

***

It is sort of tricky on this maiden voyage to the doll show, because we really are not sure what customers would like to see featured.  Therefore, we are moving our "most viewed/watched/sold" doll items to be showcased for an up close view!

Anything you want to see, head on over to eBay Collections for Beauty of Creating and get your 'view/watch/shop' on so we can count your wishes for our travel box!

The Detroit Doll Show Exhibit features dolls of color only.
