How The World is Made
They've got the whole world in their hands, and their making process is something special...
Entry
Forget Google Maps, GPS and satellites, location tracking, and the fact that we have the whole globe living on our phones and in our pockets. Globe-making isn't the future, but it's a beautiful extension of the past.
From the perspective it brings to the world as a whole, and also the tiny details that go into actually making one world, this video from Mashable on Bellerby & Co Globemakers is special.
We're huge fans of the making process, of using your hands and letting creativity be an analog process as well as a digital one, and there is something magical about handcrafted globes and the work that goes into making them.
Plus, Head Globemaker is a rad job title.
