Pedro Albizu Campos Fabric Cuff!




I just added this new cuff to my online shop, http://www.nelesc.etsy.com/. Pedro Albizu Campos was the most prominent Puerto Rican political figure of the 20th century, a National hero who sacrificed his life for the freedom of his country. Under his direction, the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico became a major force in the fight for independence. A powerful speaker, thousands would gather to listen to his passionate discourses of freedom. He urged the Puerto Rican people to reclaim their cultural history and national symbols such as the flag and the national anthem.

I really enjoyed making it and hope to do a lot more. It's different from the initial cuffs I made mentioned in this post http://nelesc.blogspot.com/2008/12/monday-inspiration-fabric-cuffs.html which were more family oriented. Here, I am going back to my revolutionary roots. Let me know what you think.
