About Cabulero Mini Monsters 艺术玩具

Cabulero Mini Monsters（卡布莱罗迷你怪兽）是一系列手工制作的艺术玩具，其构思源自象征好运的护身符。每个角色均以塑形膏手工塑造，并使用丙烯颜料进行精细上色。当需要小批量生产时，可制作硅胶模具以树脂复制这些角色。作品尺寸为宽55毫米、深70毫米、高70毫米。这些角色不设关节，是限量生产的精致收藏品。该项目在厄瓜多尔基多开发，旨在为当地缺乏此类收藏品的市场提供原创艺术玩具。

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.
