Find the perfect gift and support a local artist. Over the next couple of weeks we will feature online stores of artists in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont that offer gifts made from recycled or re-purposed material. If you are an artist and would like to be featured here, let us know.

Check out local artist Dan Clark of Dan-Clark Designs’ Etsy store for that wonderful one of a kind jewelry gift. Dan is an artist from the Coastal Maine area and has been creating hand-made jewelry since 2000. Many of his designs, like this bracelet made of recycled paper, are from re-purposed/reused material.

This Recycled Paper Bead Bracelet is made from crocheted copper wire and strung with beads made from recycled paper.

If you see something on Dan’s online store and need it customized, let him know! Dan is always more than happy to create a piece of jewelry in a different size or color.
