"Humble Himalayan"—handmade Persian cat figurine

People think Himalayan cats are "grumpy" or "judgy". But the truth is, they just look that way. They're among the sweetest, most loyal pets a person can have. I personally, have had the honor of having 3 floofy bluepoint Himmies over the years. They looked a lot like this one, which was painted meticulously via airbrush and by hand.

• Approximately 3.25 inches tall
• Handmade in Arizona
• Like diamonds, these cats are pressurized to increase clarity
• Made from UV-resistant resin
• 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 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!
