That is delicious. Maker communities have such good energy. I particularly
like the look on the face of the hand-painter.
Was there ever a writeup from the puzzlemakers who produced the 3" 3D-JP
puzzleballs, or the large one from Taipei? (were more of those puzzleballs
made?) It would also be interesting to see a semitranslucent globe for a
lamp; with the right light you could get a pure white background regardless
of the color of the surroundings.

English-speakers may wish to consult the original source, the blog of
the globe-makers, here:

There are more photos and some explanatory text.
Those in the SF area with an interest in this kind of thing should keep
an eye on their blog for their occasional open houses. E.g.:

Not only do you get to see the shop and in-progress projects, but a very
interesting collection of makers turn up there. Last I visited, I met
one couple who built a 3D printer that uses table sugar as the working
medium, and got a great under-the-hood tour of a home-converted electric
car. Very inspiring.
