Bo Duke inspired "Sweet Dreams" when he curled up to sleep on a cushion in the apartment we rented in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

While casting the first eight proofs, a production difficulty arose. Therefore I have chosen to limit the edition of "Sweet Dreams" to just eight Artist’s Proofs, numbered AP1/9 to AP8/9.
AP9/9 does not and shall not exist. I revised the original "Sweet Dreams" wax to make it easier to cast. Its title is “Sweet Dreams II”.

Each “Sweet Dreams” Smooth 1:6 Scale is made by hand in Colorado, USA. Each is signed, numbered and includes my mark, Joy Beckner Bronze Sculptor.

Enjoy!
