In this January 20, 2015 photo, Cecilia Albarran Gonzalez, 54, lifts a freshly papier-mached piñata in the form of My Little Pony, to carry it outside to dry, at her family's home workshop in the Iztapalapa neighborhood of Mexico City. Competition from craftsmen using lower quality materials and techniques has cut their sales in half. But Albarran said some people still choose to buy their higher priced “artistic” piñatas.
