break free pinatas


ABOUT bfp
Years ago, I was searching for a pterodactyl piñata for my housewarming party. Not finding what I wanted, I decided to build my own, and learned how to turn paper and glue into smashable art. The creation was as fun as the destruction!
As I began making them for others, each piñata became a tribute to the unique guest of honor. With papier-mâché, possibilities are almost unlimited. I love making exactly what someone wants, and watching the joy in busting it open!
Popularly associated with Mexico, piñatas have a rich history in many ancient cultures. They were broken to commence a new year, bless a bountiful harvest, or mark a personal journey. These ceremonial and community-based intentions are part of my work.
I hope you enjoy my designs, and I would love to hear about your ultimate dream piñata!
Cheers and confetti,
ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS
