Every year billions of magazines and catalogs published in the USA end up in landfills or incinerators. Zendik artists are taking a tiny portion of this waste and transforming it into paper beads, turning recycled material into beautiful jewelry, rich with color, each piece a tiny time capsule preserving pictures of lost tribes, great women, natural events, and historic moments. Made at the Zendik Farm Arts Foundation, a West Virginia cooperative for sustainable and creative living.
We are SOLD OUT!

Recycled magazine and catalog pages are cut and rolled into beads. Each bead is a time capsule reflecting the images of our times in advertising and events. Color stories are gathered then into a finished piece of jewelry, combining the paper beads with gemstones and glass. Each magazine bead is sealed to protect it while wearing, but not suited for swimming or showering. If an edge gets torn, use a dab of super glue to set it right!
