Belle and the Bear
Art + Jewelry
Belle and the Bear is transforming spaces with simple, elegant fiber art and creating unique, one-of-a-kind clay jewelry small batch by small batch. Not only are all materials purchased from other small business owners in America, but they are then carefully hand crafted into pieces of art for your home, body, and decoration for events!Sustainability: All cord used is 100% natural -from the cotton to the dye. Cord is sourced from a fellow stay-at-home-mom and small business owner in neighboring Utah. After completing bigger art pieces the scraps are then repurposed into jewelry and other boho accessories. The scraps of those scraps are (soon to be) mixed with other recycled fibers and used for weaving pieces so that no fiber is wasted.

Elevate Style Coaching
Style + Clothing Boutique

Timber Age Systems
Building Innovation
Timber Age is the first producer of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) in the Southwest. CLT is made by gluing wooden boards together in alternating layers at right angles to one another. Basically, it’s a little like the Jenga game with glue (water based and non-toxic, of course)! Gluing the boards together creates a wall, floor or ceiling that is stiffer, straighter, and more energy efficient than framed steel and concrete framing systems.
Sustainability: Wood and wood products such as CLT produce less greenhouse gasses, require smaller amounts of water, energy and fossil fuels than both concrete and steel. CLT has a lower embodied energy per weight than many other building materials and 'negative' carbon footprint, as wood sequesters carbon over its lifetime. Timber Age Systems offers these additional CLT building advantages: Radical localism: timber comes from within 100 miles; Use of beetle killed and forest fire mitigation lumber; Use of "unusable" lumber to sequester carbon instead of adding more carbon to the air from burning; 40% faster assembly; 25% less expensive; Net-zero ready.
