Hi there, welcome to our website!
Thank you for taking a look at www.smallgreendot.com. It is very exciting for us to share our ideas (and others that we’ve picked up along the way) with you all.
Firstly we would like to introduce ourselves. The creator of most of the artwork you will see here is from Virginia. The patterns, designs and techniques that she works with have been developed over a number of years using different methods that have been picked up from various locations and cultures throughout the world. Inevitably this became a passion, and the pursuit of locally sourced, quality materials focusing on nature while minimising each items carbon footprint has become key to both our future goals and our success to date.
Virginia, the designer and artist, originally comes from a city in France called Orléans, where she started creating macramé patterns from an early age (a talent she has also passed onto both of our niece`s) and hasn’t looked back. The results speak for themselves, wonderful crafts that showcase cultural backgrounds and a talented lady who keeps the skills alive.
The website and gardening/ cuisine sections have been created by me, Tristen. I felt that with Virginia`s art and a bit of healthy living ideas, we could create something special for everyone while having fun at the same time.
Gardening has only in the last couple of years been of interest to us and having successfully grown our first herbs and vegetables, it has been quite addictive, so we have decided to share some of this information with you. Its nothing too detailed but it can help getting started.
Having grown up in sunny Queensland, Australia, the satisfaction I get from working outside really does shine through.
Many thanks again for taking a look at ww.smallgreendot.com and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

This is a surreal little village set amidst a backdrop of enormous boulders. The perfect place for tranquility and inspiration.
