Here’s something I’ve been meaning to post about for awhile - the lovely Anne from Pret a Voyager conducted a beginners map making class on Skillshare called Learning to Communicate Places Beautifully, where she taught basic skills and concepts about maps and their creation. The course is technically a design course, but you don’t need…
If you haven’t checked out TOTshop yet this year, you’re missing out on these lovely new felt PinWorld and PinCity maps that I painstakingly handcarried back from Europe… I’m pretty big on travel journals, but what I really loved about these large maps are that they not only make a great decoration for your wall,…
While waiting to get on board wander, here’s another site that looks possibly fasincating as well. Maptia is looking to build the most inspirational map in the world, and you’re welcome to sign up early as a Maptia Pioneer (is this early signup a thing now?) and be one of the first to check it…
Love this fabulous map print by Angela Hardison, so simple and festive… And the ball garland? Adorable! The best part is that she’s sharing the joy too! You can download her fabulous artwork at her website. Repeat the sounding joy indeed =) Linked via Black Eiffel

So I’ve…
There’s a great giveaway happening at Design*Sponge now, featuring the lovely new European map prints by These Are Things, also seen in this earlier post about their totally lust-worthy maps! (Their little shop has expanded, from world maps to European maps, to American maps, and now these fantastic Europa prints! I totally want to get…
How cool is this tattoo? Does it go all around the wrist? It’ll be kinda cool if it formed a bracelet of sorts~ Like a globe you can take everywhere with you. I would have Singapore, my home, smack in the centre of my inner wrist as a little red dot. Or possibly, I already…
I fell in love with these pretty globes as soon as I saw them – they’re totally unlike anything I’ve seen before! The Geografia Globes are a modern and designer spin on your typical study table accessory, and the great part about it is actually being able to assemble it yourself! It truly lets you…
