Lisa The Wrap Artist's Interests
|
| General | To me, it's all about the details of gift wrapping - the color, the paper design, how the gift will look when the lid of the box is opened - all those add up to what I call the "WOW" factor. |

I can talk forever about gift wrapping. I think it's because I am passionate about gift wrapping. I have studied it, read a lot about it, and I find it can be a big outlet for my creativity. I mean, when can you create a piece of art and have it done in 15 minutes?
I look at a gift and immediately imagine what look of awe or surprise will be on their face. I want them to explore how the gift got wrapped - how did we know so much about them that we were able to pick the right color, or pattern of paper and marry it with the perfect ribbon?
How did I pick this to do for a profession? I would say it's the history of creativity in my family. My grandmother always made little do-dad's for our Christmas tree - glitter being the main element. It was also my mother; an artist, an art teacher, a costume designer, and a calligrapher. My dad's hobby was wood working, finding his pleasure in the beautiful grain of the wood with a simple finish.
In our house, paper and crayons and glue and scissors meant an afternoon of fun. The more colorful and creative my sisters and I got the more fun we had.
Holidays were raised to a higher level of color and creativity. My sisters and I had costumes made by our mother. No store bought ones for us! And, they were always a clever interpretation of interesting themes- like the Three Little Kittens Who Lost Their Mittens or Three Peas in a Pod.
For the last 9 years, my passion has been to make an ordinary gift into the most extraordinary, creative and unique wrapping and ribbon, so that when it is handed to the gift recipient, they say "WOW".
Because after how carefully the gift has been selected, the presentation should be as important as the gift.
