Straw painting
[2] In ancient China, wheat was perceived as sacred; the wheat-straw patchwork were rare and were therefore only sent to the royal court as tribute.[3][4] The craft disappeared with time as a result of social unrest and historical changes and only officially returned during the Sui and Tang dynasties.[5] Wheat straw is smoked, steams, whitening, dyed, cut, and altered in a myriad of procedures to fashion delicate representational works.In Mexico, straw mosaics are known as "popotillo art," from the Spanish name for sacaton grass, Sporobolus, or popote de cambray.[9] Then the artist draws a design, which is then covered by a fine layer of "cera de Campeche," a special type of beeswax.
