About Cabulero Mini Monsters 藝術玩具

Cabulero Mini Monsters係一系列手工製作嘅藝術玩具，設計靈感源自象徵好運嘅護身符。每個公仔都係用塑形膏手工塑造，再以壓克力顏料細緻上色完成。當需要小批量生產時，可以製作矽膠模具嚟用樹脂複製呢啲公仔。作品尺寸為闊55毫米、深70毫米、高70毫米。呢啲公仔冇任何關節，係限量生產嘅精緻收藏品。呢個項目係喺厄瓜多爾基多開發，旨在為當地市場提供原創嘅藝術玩具，填補當地缺乏呢類收藏品嘅空白。

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.
