About Cabulero Mini Monsters Kunstspeelgoed

Cabulero Mini Monsters is een reeks handgemaakte kunstspeelgoedfiguren die zijn bedacht als amuletten die verbonden zijn met geluk. Elk figuurtje wordt met de hand gemodelleerd in modelleerpasta en tot in detail afgewerkt met acrylverf. Er kunnen siliconenmallen worden gemaakt om de figuren in hars te reproduceren wanneer een kleine serie vereist is. De stukken meten 55 mm in breedte, 70 mm in diepte en 70 mm in hoogte. De figuren hebben geen gewrichten en zijn delicate verzamelobjecten die in beperkte oplage worden geproduceerd. Het project werd ontwikkeld in Quito, Ecuador, om origineel kunstspeelgoed aan te bieden op een lokale markt waar dergelijke verzamelstukken ontbraken.

Production Technology: Cabulero Mini Monsters are amulet figures, made by hand with modeling paste and later if you want to create a series you can make silicone molds for reproduction in resin. For its finishes (in detail, as it should be) they are made by hand with acrylic paint. Therefore, it is friendly to the environment and of quality... Ah! and of course they are made in Ecuador.
Design Challenge: The most difficult part of the project was the search for materials to model and paint, since in the country it is very difficult to find specific and necessary art materials for the creation of Cabulero Mini Monsters, along with the non-existent market for the reproduction of toys of any type So the only way to create a series of various pieces is by hand with some art and some construction materials such as resins.
Research: For the development of Cabulero Mini Monsters, the research starts with the need to create non-existent pieces in the local market. The only thing similar to an Art Toy is the crafts identified in various towns in different regions of Ecuador. Our goal is to create unique and exclusive Art Toys to open a collecting market in the country. Our research methodology was based on the observation of these crafts on various trips within the country for the compilation of references and information for the elaboration of Cabuleros. In addition to a long list of references from international artists who inspired creation.
Inspiration: All of us, whether or not we believe in luck, will have done something to make it happen to us.
And in that voracious search for love, wealth, prosperity, ... happiness! We inevitably consult popular wisdom. Tips like getting a rabbit's foot, a clover and even a dead bone as my grandmother would say, could possibly help our purpose.
And were you told that there are more effective and less scandalous amulets? ... since it would interest you.
Project Duration: The Cabulero Mini Monsters Project began in March 2014 in Quito - Ecuador and ended in June 2014 (the first series of Art Toys). The 50 pieces made were sold.
Operation Flow: These are Art Toys created from a simple modeling paste. They are collectible pieces of low stock because they are handmade pieces, they do not have joints, their care must be important because they are delicate items.
