Inspired by: Elsa Mora
I’ve just spent many magical minutes traveling through the amazing art, mind and world of Elsa Mora.
“Elsita” is a Cuban-born artist, mother, and “hollywood wife” who is amazingly talented in a seemingly endless array of mediums. She has multiple blogs on her general art and her intricate papercutting projects, as well as a store. Just a few delightful things by Elsita….
Papercutting….
…jewelry…
…blossom buddies…
…doll houses…
…beautiful dresses…
….artwork….
…and illustrations. Absolutely NOT to be missed is her blog on personal style, which she seems to have in spades, as well as a generous heart and a nurturing spirit.

She is so cool, and the stuff she makes is amazing, it’s infused with such a wonderful sense of childlike whimsy. I bet her husband goes home every night after a day of dealing with sleazy agents and Hollywood wannabes, and just breaths a sigh of relief that he married this woman who is so not-of-that-world. The flower sculptures, everything, they really seem so original and personal, and not derivative of other people’s art at all. She is totally worth posting about.

I am so grateful that you posted about (and introduced me to) Elsa Mora. Her art is breathtaking, and I love her personal style blog too. What a true artist, through and through, and a seemingly beautiful soul. Thank you!
