Details

"Humans and nature can never be apart because everything is related. I cannot imagine how we will live without each other. It goes without saying that we have to adapt ourselves to nature, not try to control or only take from nature. Without nature, none of us could live," Natthida says. She expresses the concept in a colorful painting on a linen canvas.

Natthida

"I am happy to be able to do what I like to do in life, so that is what I want to instill in my daughter."

"I am Natthida Sanwong, and every one calls me by my nickname, Oi. I was born in Chiang Mai on 11 June, 1972. My parents... divorced when I was around 12-13 years old. I was close to my father before they separated, but after that I didn't see him that often. He passed away some years ago.

"Being the only child from a broken family didn't make me think I had any problems. On the contrary, it made me mature faster. I got used to being alone and doing many things on my own, which made me feel very independent.

"I hardly talked to my mother about my education, I just followed my friends. So even though I liked art from a very young age, there was no one to guide me, and I never knew about the possibility of studying art until just a few years ago. In 2002 I got the chance to enroll in a private art class to learn basic techniques, but it was only a short course. I studied the rest by myself by reading books, practice painting, and also learn from friends who I've met during my artist formation.

"After graduating from high school in my home town, I enrolled in Tourism in Phuket. The reason I did that was because I wanted to travel though my mother wasn't too pleased about it. I was studying and working at the same time, to support myself, and managed pretty well. I didn't ask for money from my mother, only during the last year of my studies, when I really needed some help regarding financial issues. My mother did help me.

"I met my German husband when I was 20 years old, in Phuket. I was working and training in a hotel. He was 29 years old at the time and he was traveling to Thailand on business. We ended-up staying together for 5 years and we had a daughter. As time went by, we separated because we found our own ways of life, but we are still good friends. I'm now happy with my daughter. Her father visits us several times a year, and we often visit him in his country.

"I am happy to be able to do what I like to do in life, so that is what I want to instill in my daughter. I'd like to see her as a happy person, because she would enjoy doing what she loves to do in life.

"I'm happy painting as well as doing handicrafts, design clothes, leather and even wood. Being able to paint and design makes me feel good. I always have ideas for these different types of work. I like to match every kind of material I find if I think they look nice and beautiful together.

"When I have the chance I like to travel. I enjoy going to different places and meet different people. It is also a source of inspiration from where I develop different themes for my work.

"I always enjoy life, as I think that life is such a big challenge. Problems may arise but I've never felt tired. There is always a solution to every problem, so I never give up.

"Getting involved with art is great. I think it's an amazing way to express my imagination, my thoughts and my feelings. I enjoy being myself and being able to express myself through my work.

"Thanks Novica for finding my work interesting, offering me the opportunity to further what I love to do, and reach other people via the internet. I really appreciate this and I do hope that people will enjoy seeing my work. Khob khun kha (thank you)."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

Triple 'Win' Pricing

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.

WIN # 3 Artisans Profit!
