A dying tradition of dolls made in this medium in Celaya led Carolina Esparragoza to expand their designs to include godzillas and mermaids as part of the Miss Lupita project. Cane, wood, and wire are used alongside this material to create exploding little bulls called “toritos.” A ban on the destruction of Judas effigies led an artist to create works in this medium that incorporate features like fins and viper tongues to represent the classical elements. A dream about a butterfly-winged donkey and bull-horned rooster led Pedro (*) Linares to coin the term for a type of surrealist artwork made from this material. Outside of Oaxaca (“wah-HAH-kah”), engrudo is used to create cartonería like alebrijes (“ah-lay-BREE-hess”) from this material. Either clay or this material are used to create the seven-pointed stars that are broken during Las Posadas. For 10 points, one might use a water and wheat-flour paste to create what material used for piñatas? ■END■
