The DCTO (Dreams Come True Object) project is the collectable art figure designed by CHOCOLATE SOOP’s Dacosta Bayley. It is a modern interpretation of an ancient Japanese Zen doll known as a Daruma doll. This curiously limbless, traditionally red-cloaked figure with unpainted eyes is used for personal dedication to a new venture such as starting a business, beginning a new path in life, or given as a gift for celebrations like New Years, weddings, and birthdays.
Painting in DCTO's left eye shows commitment to a goal; once the goal is achieved, you then paint in DCTO's right eye. DCTO (dik-toe) is designed to right itself when it is knocked over, reflecting the Japanese saying, 'Nanakorobi yaoki' "fall 7 times, rise 8 times".
The online shop is now open just in time for the Holiday Season. So energize those New Year goals with a whole lot of Zen power. Just click the ‘Shop online’ to find your Zen.

Designer toys are fun. I found this at My Plastic Heart. StrangeCo is another favorite designer toy website although many of them are already sold out.
