NATIVITIES FOR SALE — ASIA — CAMBODIA SOMANA'S NATIVITY
The paper figures in this Nativity are made using an art form called quilling, which uses tiny strips of paper that are either twirled, rolled, or shaped before being glued together. Even though the figures are small, the attention to detail is impressive; the amount of work in quilling the tiny rolls of paper used to make the angel's intricate wings is mind-boggling.
The set contains 11 figures: Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus, an angel on a pedestal, two shepherds, two sheep with wool bodies, and three wise men. Joseph stands 3 inches tall.
The Nativity was made by a young woman named Im Somana. A few years ago she became a Christian and served a church mission. Recently Somana married a wonderful young man. Somana, like many young Cambodians, didn't always have the educational opportunities that most people in developed countries take for granted. So, despite being 24 years old, married, and working part-time doing her quilling artwork, she is attending high school now. She will finish later in 2017 and intends to pursue an interior design degree at a local university.
