Made in the USA, Sustainably
Handmade in California with recycled materials, non-toxic glues, and eco-conscious finishes.

The W is for Whole Wide World globe is a dreamy nursery keepsake featuring a pastel ABC-themed vintage world map with whimsical touches of rainbows, clouds, the sun, and moon.

Each globe is designed by artist and globe maker Wendy Gold, and sustainably made by hand in her USA based studio by artisan globe makers and professional wood workers, using eco-friendly materials and finishes.

Special design features include exquisite collage map art created from vintage maps, ephemera, engravings and illustrations, and our original globe design with a handcrafted wood base that allows the globe to fully spin around its axis. Because a World made by hand should tell your story, you can choose from four stained wooden base options, and add a complimentary personalized message of your words circling the North Pole. Not just a globe - your globe. (See image 5 for reference.)

A perfect new baby gift that inspires curiosity and celebrates new beginnings.

• HAND PRESSED – Each globe is individually printed and hand-pressed to order in our California studio, ensuring one-of-a-kind craftsmanship in every piece.

• MAPPING OUR GLOBES – An eight-year journey led to the world’s only process for turning flat antique maps into handcrafted globes. While landforms remain true, no globe can ever be a perfect representation of the Earth. Expect slight imperfections—beautiful evidence of its handmade origin in today’s mass-produced world.

• ECO-FRIENDLY – When the world is your canvas, it should be treated with care. We craft our globes using recycled materials, non-toxic glues, and eco-conscious finishes—because the Earth isn’t just our subject, it’s our priority.

A close-up of a person's hands holding a vintage-style illustrated globe while drawing on it with a pencil. The person wears a patterned green top, and a white banner at the bottom reads 'The world is our canvas'.

A person with curly hair and glasses is seated at a table, using a black marker to draw radial lines on a large circular sheet of white paper with pale green segments. The setting appears to be a workshop or studio with shelves and boxes in the background.

Not mass-produced. Made by us.

Artist Wendy Gold spent eight years developing an entirely new way to make globes from scratch. Each globe is individually printed, hand-pressed, and finished by our small, all-women team in our California studio using eco-conscious materials and finishes.
