¡Hola, espero te encuentres de maravilla!
Hi, I hope you are feeling great
Me encuentro feliz de presentarles al personaje n°1 de la colección de este año. Se trata de "Curti" y está inspirado en el chuño negro o simplemente chuño, siendo este un alimento milenario.
I am happy to introduce you to the number 1 character of this year's collection. He is called "Curti" and is inspired by the black chuño or simply chuño, an ancient foodstuff.
¿Qué es el chuño?
El chuño es una papa, la cual pasa por un proceso de congelamiento, luego es expuesta al sol de y finalmente es deshidratada. Este proceso es de manera natural y lleva casi una semana, se realiza en algunas zonas especiales del Altiplano.
The chuño is a potato, which goes through a freezing process, then it is exposed to the sun and finally it is dehydrated. This process is done in a natural way and takes about a week, it is carried out in some special areas of the Altiplano.
As you know, there is a story behind every character. Curti has wide feet because when making chuño, people press the ice water out of the potatoes with their feet.
This amigurumi has an expression of "We are in the information age and you still don't know me". Not to mention its nutritional value, simply amazing.
Here the colours of the chuño stand out more, with the poncho...because it didn't look so similar before, haha. The border symbolises the ice from the cold areas required for its elaboration.
And then it was time to embroider the face. This is where the character comes to life, haha. There are still more details that Curti hides, for the moment these are the most outstanding ones.
