- Biography
Enrique Rendon collected burrs from the fields and stuck them together to create small figures and animals. He also constructed tiny pieces of furniture from tin and aluminum. A few years before he retired, Rendon became good friends with the santero (carver of wooden saints) Horacio Valdez and began carving small images of saints, or santos.
