Helia is adorable. A total doll. A feline fashion doll, at that. Totally inspired by sunflowers. She was cast in translucent white resin, and has painted on black patches. She features handmade pale yellow eyes, a beaded headband, and a cheerful sunflower dress. There is no figurine on Earth like this one!
I hope you like her!
About These Artisan Resin Cats
Approximately 2.75 inches tall and 5 inches long
Handmade in Arizona
Like diamonds, these cats are pressurized to increase clarity
I sculpted the prototype by hand using polymer clay, then created the mold from silicone rubber. This mold is exclusive to Brutal Sun Art. I’ll only get so many castings before the prototype wears down or breaks
Each cat must spend at least 9 hours in a pressure pot, which limits how many I can make each week. I’m also a caretaker for a parent with Alzheimer’s, so my studio time is limited
Every cat receives extensive sanding, painting, and varnishing
Their tiny eyes are hand-painted under magnification. I developed this skill through years of painting OOAK fashion doll eyes—few artists can paint at this scale with this level of precision
The foils, alcohol inks, glitters, mica powders and other found objects used to make these cats yield wildly unpredictable results. As such, each one is OOAK. I cannot make duplicate cats if I tried!
