From leisure to creativity The need to attract luck with good and bad vibes, for those who believe in it or simply like an amulet; Cabuleros falls into the category of Art toy and is born from the mind of those who prefer to spend 24 hours sleeping without dreaming, from the insistence of the friend who sometimes writes and asks him, do you already have them? To them and to those who like these bugs, thank you.

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.

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.

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.
