Rust-Dyed Silk Scarf
Wear a real piece of the PA Wilds and the region’s history with this 100 percent silk rust-dyed scarf. Crafted by hand in McKean County sunshine, this scarf design is an actual rust "print" made using retired fencing from the historic Dr. McCleery Wolf Farm located in Kane, Pennsylvania. This unique product is the result of a collaboration between the artist and the McCleery Wolf Center. Because each scarf is dyed by hand, each rust pattern is slightly different, ensuring that it will be a one-of-a-kind gift!
Neuron and Brain Jabebo Earrings
Jabebo earrings are unique in several ways! For one, they are made using recycled cereal boxes. In fact, on the reverse side of the product, you can even see the cereal box that was used in the making of the earrings. However, the artwork itself is also eye-catching. Although the earrings go together, the images are mismatched, sparking curiosity and interesting conversations. For example, this set of earrings shows a neuron for one earring and human brain for the corresponding earring. An unusual product, made in Bellefonte, here in the PA Wilds!
Maple Mustard
Maple… it’s not just for pancakes anymore. Made with 100 percent PA pure maple syrup from Patterson Farms in Tioga County, this 8-ounce bottle of maple mustard is a pleasant surprise for any foodie. Sweet, savory and tangy all at the same time! Use it in any way you would typically use mustard, with the sweet sensation of supporting a local PA Wilds business.
La Turista Renaissance Alien Print
Definitely a unique and unusual piece of artwork! This limited edition, archival signed print of an otherworldly and noble visitor to Earth was inspired by Renaissance portraiture and the compelling mystery of the greys. Ellen Paquette uses her artwork to highlight otherwise overlooked creatures or endangered species. This artwork is sure to invite some questions and smiles.
