I learned that utilitarian Mexican arts like pots, ceramics, jewelry, etc. are called &#8220;artesania&#8221; and that it is a blend between the Native and Spanish cultures.<\/p>\n<p>Today I decided to make another coin celebrating artesania. I tried using bright, almost neon, colors with an abstract mascot. For the mascot of the coin, I went with my favorite Mexican Bigfoot, the Chupacabra, or Goat Sucker.<\/p>\n<p>I had always thought that the Chupacabra had been a legend for centuries but I found out today that it only was created in the nineties. In 1995, some farmers found their goats&#8217; blood sucked right out and an urban legend was soon born. It has been &#8220;sighted&#8221; all across the Americas as far north as Maine and as far south as Chile. It&#8217;s suppose to be a mix between dog, reptile, bat, kangaroo, and demon. What it is, if anything, no one really knows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-205\" title=\"The Legend of the Chupacabra\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/artesania.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/artesania.jpg 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/artesania-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/artesania-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever hear about the legend of the Chupacabra?
