{"product_id":"humble-himalayan-handmade-persian-cat-figurine","title":"\"Humble Himalayan\"—handmade Persian cat figurine","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"352\" data-end=\"450\"\u003ePeople 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 3.25 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Arizona\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike diamonds, these cats are pressurized to increase clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from UV-resistant resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery cat receives extensive sanding, painting, and varnishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheir 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 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!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brutal Sun Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44519444414530,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/1801\/8626\/files\/cat01_38b54a62-3e41-4883-9810-cd902f33a692.png?v=1785180744","url":"https:\/\/bazaar.brutalsun.com\/products\/humble-himalayan-handmade-persian-cat-figurine","provider":"Brutal Sun Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
