"Cartoneria technique, a Mexican artisan craft inherited from Spain and was originally used to make dolls for girls who could not afford porcelain. The craft was an adaptation to the traditional Papier-Mache, in that it uses a thick craft paper.

This grasshopper is an abstraction part of a series of animals made using Cartoneria and using the Alebrije decoration style, i.e. very intricate decorations with acrylic ink and colors” MRJ
