Soolip: Paper Terrarium
Soolip's Founder, Wanda Wen, started her business nearly 15 years ago out of a life long passion she had (and still has!) for the paper arts, letter-writing and the simple pleasures of life. Her approach to life is to live each day with beauty and inspiration, being resourceful, respecting each other and our earth, and learning to see the beauty in simplicity. She is completing her first book, The Art of Gift Wrapping, a PotterCraft/Random House publication, due out April 2010. The name Soolip has its heritage in the Chinese language, meaning "One's life destiny is to seek wisdom." Soolip is also Wanda's middle name.
