thinking globally, acting locally

I've wanted a globe for a while, and not just to do this:

I recently scored this beauty at the Hadley Salvation Armani:

It took forever to score and split, much to my husband's amusement, but I did it, and did it cleanly.  Then I primed the cardboard center, painted it a beautiful ocean blue, and poly'ed it.  Grabbed a piece of salvaged barn wood (thanks, Shaun at Berkshire Barns!), bolted it down, and voila, a bowl!

This, and much, much more, on sale at the Knack Pop Up Shop in downtown Northampton, beginning this Saturday!
