Y’all know what a vintage globe fanatic I am.
They are all over the house.
Well, recently I stumbled on this site ImagineNations.
Wendy Gold is the artist and creator behind this clever idea.
This young woman decopages over vintage globes to create unique pieces of art.
Like these monsters…..
Or all of these….
And because each one is custom-made from one of a kind globes…no 2 are ever completely alike.
She will even do personalized globes for special events..
I know what every one of y’all are thinking…..
and, yes…..we may be inspired to make something like these in the near future.
Last summer we painted a globe with chalkboard paint…..who know’s what we could do with a globe next,
Stay tuned…..
THE CAVENDER DIARY 
Those are really great, but my inner geography/cartography nerd is weeping for the loss of a perfectly good globe. I hope the globes that the artist uses were at least damaged. Sorry to be a ‘Debbie Downer’ about that aspect, but I am sort of a purist when it comes to maps/globes. So happy you shared though, because it gives me a great idea for a damaged globe that I have.
I like how the artist has taken a mundane object and made us appreciate it in a new way!
“Where The Wild Things Are” has got to be the best one, in my opinion. My dad would love it for Father’s Day!
Yeah Chelsea, that one really touches my heart… One of the best books ever written. As a little boy, I would sit in my room and imagine that it would grow into a jungle just like Max.
I had to show that globe.
I’ve been wanting to do a Chalkboard globe, but I never come across any used globes…where do you find yours?
Most of the tin ones came from eBay, but I see used globes at thrift stores all the time……OK, maybe not “all the time” , but I do see a couple a year at thrift stores/garage sales.
