"Day Dream" is a 17" porcelain doll designed by artist Tom Francirek for Paradise Galleries. She was purchased directly from Paradise Galleries in 2004 and has been displayed intermittently in my non-smoking home. I have pet cats and birds, but they have only been in the general vicinity of this doll.

Her wig and wings are synthetic. Her flower-detailed costume is overlaid with pale blue tulle and delicate lace. Pastel-colored flowers and ribbons adorn her natural blond hair, braided at the crown. Her face is painted with fantasy-pink eyeshadow and natural cheek and lip color.
