THE ART OF GIFT WRAPPING
Gift wrap and paper expert Wanda Wen will show us what it means to
give thoughtfully wrapped presents. With expert tips, techniques and
creative vision, she describes how to use natural, uncommon and every-
day materials to perfectly dress any gift. Wanda says: "I am excited by
the process of creating things and the outcome of what personal pas-
sion and intention produce. There is nothing more beautiful and moving
than what the human hand & heart can create."
During our December meeting, Wanda will be demonstrating some of
her gift wrapping techniques, her new book will be available for pur-
chase & signing by her and a selection of SOOLIP paper products will
be available for sale.
Wanda is also the founder of Soolip, a Los Angeles paper boutique. She
started Soolip nearly 15 years ago out of a life long passion for paper
arts, letter-writing and the simple pleasures of life. Please visit her
website www.soolip.com or her store Soolip, at 8646 Melrose Ave,
West Hollywood CA.
