Hood River Día de Los Muertos

A traditional Mexican Catrinas, made of a craft similar to papier-mâché called cartonería, is one of many on display at the Día de Los Muertos celebrations.  While making these decorative pieces, people use paper and glue, and often combine other materials like wire, wood, recycled cardboard, or even air-drying clay to make the elaborate pieces. While some modern versions may use other materials, paper and paste are the foundation for these traditional skeletal figures.
