Cabulero
Cabulero Mini Monsters is a series of handmade art toys conceived as amulets linked to good fortune. Each figure is modeled by hand in modeling paste and finished in detail with acrylic paint. Silicone molds can be made to reproduce the figures in resin when a small series is required. The pieces measure 55 mm in width, 70 mm in depth and 70 mm in height. The figures have no joints and are delicate collectible objects produced in limited numbers. The project was developed in Quito, Ecuador, to offer original art toys in a local market where such collectible pieces were absent.
