Imagine Nations: Recycle Globe Art

Imagine Nations demonstrates the great use of recycling vintage globes. Each art work has been uniquely designed and given a rebirth by Wendy Gold to be one of a kind pieces.

“The “Imagine Nation” globes are handmade using vintage globes whose geography is no longer accurate. Wendy finds, cuts and creates the art that she then decoupages onto the old globes. From Superheros to Rock and Roll, each is one of a kind. She also takes on commissions. The globes vary in size from the small novelty bank globes to the larger traditional 30″ diameter globes. Prices range from $99-$300.”

Gustavsberg Bersa Collection

I’ve been slowly collecting Gustavsberg Bersa dishwares since my last entry a year ago which I use for special occasions. The vintage tea cups in the first photo are ones that I recently purchased via ebay. Luckily the seller didn’t put the manufacturer’s name on the title, so I could score them for an amazing price! The vintage tea cups are slightly smaller compared to their reissued coffee cups as you can see on the second photo. The cups and plates are available here.
