Papel picardo translates as “paper cuts”, which Mexicans use to decorate their homes, streets and shops at festival times. Often hung across the street, stuck to walls and windows, they are used to create shrines. They are made from tissue paper and a chisel is used to cut out the designs. The designs for the Mexican Day of the Dead are inspired by the images of José Guadalupe Posada, a Mexican illustrator from the 19th century who depicted skeletons in the guise of living mortals, such as a skeleton on a bicycle, a skeleton aristocrat, a cowboy skeleton and two skeleton lovers in a garden.
