Mariposa Native Plants Nursery & EcoCreations
As an avid recycler and repurposer, Beverley integrates those values in her craft work. Her craft business, EcoCreations, uses repurposed materials as much as possible. Whether making denim pet toys, yard art, fabric decor, or other items, Beverley hunts at yard sales and thrift stores for most of the materials she needs.
Beverley started her craft work in 2010, when she lived in San Jose. A group of friends decided to start a quilting group, making lap quilts to donate to hospitals. Over the years, she expanded her sewing into making pet-related items such as denim dog and cat toys, pet beds, etc., and then into fabric home decor and machine embroidery. She has recently begun making yard art and working with manzanita.
In 2019, Beverley and her partner Ron started Mariposa Native Plants nursery (mariposanativeplants.com). Initially, they sold only California milkweeds to help restore the monarch butterfly population. But, getting requests from local neighbors for pollinator plants, they expanded their nursery at Midpines Summit to now carry over 100 varieties of native California plants.

Victoria's Handwork
Lorna Fear, a wearable-art maker in Mariposa, has been honing her skills since 1985. Her stay-at-home mom, an accomplished seamstress, small business owner, and avid flower gardener, introduced the young girl to a variety of fabric arts. Lorna experimented with several forms of artistic expression while employed in the San Francisco Bay Area, in escrow and then in high-tech. Fabric arts provided a much-needed outlet.
During weekends spent at her parents' place, Lorna grew to love Mariposa's Old West vibe. Resembling the set of a favorite cowboy movie, Mariposa's historic downtown sparked a creative flame. She began to make wearable art pieces that mimic what's found in our gardens, window boxes, and old photographs. Jewel-tone handbags dangle like blossoms from flowering vines. Butterflies alight on Lorna's anklets and boot bling. Freesias and pansies adorn French barrettes. Her uses of simulated barbed-wire create distinctive armlets. Charm bracelets depict farming and ranching life, cattle drives, and even stagecoach robberies!

D&L Glass & Gourds
D & L Glass & Gourds is a joint venture between husband Dave Smith and his wife Laura. Dave is a self-taught stained glass artist who began perfecting his craft around 2009 when their new home needed some beauty for their windows. His enthusiasm for glass work expanded from there with windows, hanging glass items, and decorative pieces circulating to family and friends in the area and out.
Laura retired in 2016 and felt she needed a craft to keep her busy and occupied, so picked up a class in gourd painting, which quickly became a passion. Dave and Laura were avid scuba divers and travelers in their younger years so it's not unusual to see ocean and travel scenes depicted in their work. Laura spent time with the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico so much of her work shows some southwestern flair.
Both joined Made in Mariposa in 2016 and have been showcasing their work since then in the MiM store at the Visitor Center and now in the new MiM store in downtown Mariposa. Come in and see their beautiful pieces and maybe take one home for your own windows or tables, or to share with a friend.
