Rochelle Mueller

Hi, I’m Rochelle, and I’ve always been drawn to creating.

My love for making things goes all the way back to childhood—at a kindergarten show-and-tell, I brought in a knitting project. My teacher didn’t believe I had made it myself, so I came back the next day with my needles and knit right in front of her.

These days, when I’m not working as a technical writer, I’m still creating—just in different forms. Over the years, I’ve explored a range of mediums, always following whatever feels inspiring in the moment.

After the birth of my second child in 2015, some health challenges slowed me down, and I found myself deeply missing that creative outlet. Not long after, I was introduced to marbling through my son’s daycare community—and something clicked. What started as a simple activity, marbling paper mâché ornaments with my son, quickly grew into something more.

In 2022, I began teaching myself fabric marbling, and I fell in love with its fluid, unpredictable nature. There’s a certain magic in it—you can plan, but the final result always holds a surprise. Every piece is entirely one of a kind. Lately, I’ve been especially drawn to the challenge of working on larger fabrics, continuing to refine and expand my practice.

Wrapiness grew naturally from this journey—a space where I bring together marbling and the Japanese art of furoshiki. It’s a thoughtful, earth-friendly way to wrap gifts, transforming something simple into something truly special.

Delight in how you wrap.

Thank you for reading my story.

The Process

Wrapiness’ unique wraps are handmade using the ancient art form of marbling where paint is dropped on thickened water. The paint floats on the surface, then is manipulated into designs. The fabric is laid onto the surface where it instantly picks up the floating film of paint, transferring the design onto the fabric. When dry, the paint is permanent.

Due to the handmade nature of our products and inherent characteristics of the marbling process, the design may have slight imperfections or 'white' spots due to bubbles; this is common and makes each piece one of a kind.
