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. For example, 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. The kneeling Joseph measures 2.5 inches tall.
The Nativity was made by a young woman named Im Somana. Several years ago she became a Christian and served a church mission. Then 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. She finished high school in 2017 at the age of 24 while married and working part-time doing her quilling artwork. Somana is pursuing an interior design degree at a local university.
