Thank you for sharing your story, Elsita. It is an honest and heartfelt one. You are an incredible artist and your life experience has helped to nurture your craft. I traveled to Cuba in 2000 & 2002 because I wanted to know the people, their struggles, their courage, their strengths and their contributions to culture. I, too was very impressed and inspired by the spirit of the people on the island. There are many aspects of Cuba that I recall vividly and will always be a part of me. Thank you for you contribution to art and life.

Wonderful art

Wonderful article. I had the pleasure of visiting Havana a couple of years ago. The music on every corner was amazing, the food...just sublime, the ambience....the old cars...but the passionate spirit of the people was what struck me the most. A beautiful experience.

Doh! I can't

Elsita I too was born in Cuba. I don't remember much. I do remember being very wealthy, we had maids,cooks and lots of animals to eat. oh yes and lots of fruit trees. I miss picking my own mango and my bananas. My mother was a seamstress and my Father worked on the Rail road, My mother was also a singer. they Called her, La Novia de oriente. I came here in 1971 from Guantanamo bay. I have been in Michigan for 36 years. the only things I brought back with me was all the things my mother and my grandma tough me about art. and here I am at etsy, showing the word what kind of mind I have. I create many things. I hope everyone likes what I have. and I hope someday I can be wealthy again like I was as a child. Elsita I love your art. and who you are. keep up the good work.

Oh Elsita, yo

Oh Elsita, you have such a wonderful creative spirit! As my husband was also born and raised in Cuba, I can feel so much of what you say here. And how perfect to show Etsy (aka Bunny) in dialogue with Fidel, he looks like he is very intrigued. :) You are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing all that creativity with us.

Very interest

I too was on my own at 15- life's circumstances made me much more mature and already 'adult like' at that age- so I completely understand. You have really done well for yourself! Congratulations! Keep growing :)
