Chisels

I don't think that the tissue paper is cut using chisels. --Mackilicious 01:48, 14 September 2007 (UTC) I think it is cut using scissors. I may be wrong, but thats what i used. Tissue paper isn't hard enough to really use chisels. Jaguarkitty (talk) 03:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It can be cut using scissors or chisels. --Banana (talk) 06:54, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

Partially translated. Will finish later. --Banana (talk) 06:54, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Connection with Prehispanic Culture

I think there should be some mention of connections between paper making, paper cutting, papel picado, and prehispanic cultural use - because there is some. I think it is unfair that there is no mention of any kind of continuity in Mexican civilization between Mexico before the conquest and after the conquest, when in fact there is.

Plan on adding a "Types" section

Hello, my name is Ashley, and I plan on contributing to the "papel Picado" article. I will be working on the "papel Picado" article by adding a "tyes" section, citing credible sources, and adding more information to the overall article. This "Types" section is my first addition to the article, and I wanted to post it on the talk page before making it live. If any of you have advice on how to best improve this article, I am all ears!

Below is my first planned contribution.



Types

With countless combinations of patterns and colors, there are many different types of papel picados used in Mexican celebrations[1]. Specific patterns of papel picados are believed to hold significant meaning and worldly influence[2]. Thus, the appearance of a papel picado is determined by the particular even of which it is used[1]. One of the more commonly known types of papel Picados are those used during the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos ([of the Dead]), of which the papel picados are often cut with patterns of skulls and strung around ofrendas [[1]][3].


Papel picados are also used to assist in one's life journey[2].

If someone wanted to improve a relationship, better their crops, or receive assistance in a particular area of their life, they would go to the Shaman [[2]] (someone thought to have contact with the spirits[4]) who would create a papel picado themed to the persons specific need, which would help their situation[2].

Nov. 1 and Nov, 2 Clarification

Nov. 1 is All Saints Day; Nov. 2 is All Souls Day. This is common knowledge In Spanish Nov. 2 is called Dia de los Muertos but translating it as Day of the Dead does not convey in English the belief and cultural sense that the souls of those who pass on are alive. Also, remember that Halloween (Oct. 31) is an abbreviation of All Hallowed Eve. Years ago I edited a few articles of Wikipedia and signed Margaret9Mary. I can't remember the password I used and the IP address would change depending on the computer I use at this community college. No one here knows Wikipedia protocol. what should I do?205.167.120.201 (talk) 23:51, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
