In this January 20, 2015 photo, Melesio Vicente Flores, 59, attaches a head to a structured piñata that when assembled and painted will resemble a Disney princess, in his family's workshop in the Iztapalapa neighborhood of Mexico City. Flores and his wife Cecilia Albarran Gonzalez have crafted the papier-mache figures for 25 years in their four-story house. While competition drives down prices, the cost of primary materials, such as newspapers, wheat flour and lard, has been rising. “It once supported us more or less. Today not any more”, he said. “There is no left over”. (Photo by Rebecca Blackwell/AP Photo)
