One day, we all walked over to a small, family owned papier mache factory in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Above they are demonstrating how they created the paper shapes from plaster of paris molds. Then, they let them dry and paint them.

      Sorry, I don't remember. It was a little place, that our Casa Noche B&B told us about.

    Your Mexico pictures look like parts of San Antonio. Our Missions are the same, and the colors! It's the amazing proximity to Mexico, that makes San Antonio stand out from Houston and Dallas. NO COMPARISON! So glad that you make that trip...Laura
