This sleek resin cat wears her colors like lacquer—bands of teal, violet, and bronze gliding across a dark, glassy base. The effect recalls oil on water, or metal just before it cools. Each curve of her sculpted body reflects the patience of the hand that shaped her, the slow layering of mica powders brushed on until they gleamed like liquid motion.
She sits poised and watchful, quiet but not still, as if she might rise at any moment and slip back into the shadows that made her.
About These Artisan Resin Cats
Approximately 4.5 inches tall
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 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!
