I love this piece because of the bright colors, and it goes well with all my other nursery artwork (cause it’s all from p3!)
If I won, I would have to hang this on the wall above the crib, cause it is the only wall in my nursery that is big enough!
I love the colors and the texture of this piece. If I won, I would hang it in my office for me and my students to enjoy (right now, the walls are empty!).
–sorry, I put the wrong email address in that last comment. That one’s about to be obsolete in about a week. Please don’t count this as an entry, though. Cheers.
I like that it is so unique:O I would definately put it in my son’s room, to brighten it up, and a reminder to him and myself to take care of mother earth:)

What could be better than a map of the world? As kids, my family had one on a basement wall. This is a lot better than the one we had. I would love to have this for my children to admire as they grow up. This is really beautiful. I sure hope I win it!
what a beauty and I love the idea that it’s all recycled. I would put this up in my daughter’s room; we’re really getting into geography and we all love to travel!
My little one (11 months) just STARES at the outdoors: when the door is open she rushes to it to look outside. This would be so fun to hang in her room, as we teach her about our beautiful world and inspire her to love and explore it!
I love this piece. I am constantly trying to fill up my children’s life with good art that stimulates their minds and imagination. The fact that it is of the world is even better — Very inspiring!
This is fabulous! I would hang this in a prominent spot in our house–maybe the playroom, where we all spend most of our waking hours–to prompt conversations and dreams about that precious gift, our earth. How inspiring.
This is a wonderful piece – vibrant colors and a great message! We’re starting to graduate to “real art” and this certainly qualifies! The collage is a wonderful way to learn about the earth, where we are, where we can go, and to always be mindful of taking care of our earth.
I would hang this in our daughter’s bedroom so we could enjoy it together and use it as a conversation piece for learning and dreaming.
Me! Oh please me. I would hang it in my 3 boys’ bedroom. We have been waiting to find (and afford) some cool artwork-maps in particular for a long time. These colours are so vivid, the texture is so fabulous, the concept is so cool. I could not love them more.
Oooh, I love this painting, its so beautiful and teaches awareness about the earth. I would hang it in my nursery where I could look at it while nursing.
I would hang this in my family room. My family is completely committed to the environment and this “Recycled Earth” would be a lovely reminder of that. It would lovely to see everyday and inspire us to find more ways to save the Earth.
xo.
This would make a lovely gift for my wife. She is an Eco activist and this would be the perfect gift to tell her how proud of her I am. This would make her holiday.
Thank you for the opportunity.
This would be perfect for my 8 year old son’s room. He loves the environment. He is quite the little Ecoist. This would remind him of his goals in life.
Thanks.
I love looking at maps and globes with my kids, and this picture would be the perfect addition to our collection. The colors are amazing! I love art that inspires conversations about places we want to visit and how interconnected we all are-
having traveled to many countries myself, i have been on the lookout as of late for a globe/world map for my three little boys. this canvas is beautiful and combines a love of the earth with a love of beauty. i’d be oh so thrilled to hang it in our family room!
i think this is just beautiful. i love encouraging global awareness to my children and we are always talking about different cultures and customs and cooking and eating international foods. i’ve traveled a fair amount and hope to see and experience many more countries with my children in the years to come. this piece would look fabulous in our playroom, and someday when we have a larger house with enough wall space, i’d love to have it in my kitchen! (my grandparents always had a map of the world in their kitchen and i LOVED it!)
I love art because it’s so inspring. It can immediately change the mood of a room and where conversations lead. I love this piece and know exactly where to put it! We are working on designing my son’s room and it will be full of airplanes. I have been on the hunt for a unique earth piece to go with the airplanes suspended from the ceiling and this IS IT! I love it!
What a great piece of art! I love looking at the art my kids create, because it tells me a lot about them as people. This piece would go perfectly in my son’s room, and we’d use it to talk about all of the different cultures and wonderful places to visit.
I love to make mixed media art. This would look beautiful in our brand new baby’s bedroom. We don’t have any artwork in the room yet. And, this is delightful!
oh, wow, this is unbelievably gorgeous… i’m giddy actually just thinking about it… of all the giveaways i’ve entered IN MY WHOLE LIFE, this is the one i’m hoping for the most… fingers crossed!
oh, and it would definitely go front and center in our living room. seriously, love.
This piece is so cool! I love the colors and the concept. I would hang it in my son’s room. He’s 7 and loves to stare at globes and maps. I’ve been looking for a unique one for him — this is it!
What a beautiful piece. We are a map, Earth loving family. 🙂 We strive to teach our children to love the planet and to do what they can … every bit helps … what a great reminder this piece would be. I’m sure my son would want it in his room, but I think our family room might be the best place. I LOVE it!
I forgot to say what I would do with it. I would love to hang it in my son’s room. I think teaching a child at a young age to love the earth is crazy important and this would provide a beautiful reminder.
I absolutely love this. I love the earth and all of the beautiful things I can see and do here. I would take such good care of this art and probably put it in my son’s room.
Such a beautiful print!!! My daughter would love this (as she is very into the Earth and recycling). It would go perfectly in our playroom and I have the perfect wall to put it on. Or maybe our family room so I can enjoy it every day!!
i simply love this art! my little boy’s room has the theme of travel–world map, time zone clocks, globes. i would definitely have to put it up in there! i love the pieced together look and the mixed media. love it!
holy moly. really? what a delightful work of art. i don’t have any kiddos (not just yet, anyway), but would love to display this in my sunroom. i’m certain that as i move and marry and age, i will always find a perfect place for it. why, such lovely, worldly art will remind me to stay grounded and focused as my world around it grows and changes. gee whiz. how great would that be?
this is so beautiful. i have a very high ceiling with a wall from the second floor where i could hang it. we live in hawaii and it fits in with an eco friendly lifestyle!
I love this piece! My children are very “green” and becoming good stewards of the earth. If I won this I would hang it in our living room so that everyone could admire its beauty and wonder, and so that it could be an inspiration to live a better life for not only our family but all who entered our home.
Oh this is such a wonderful piece of art. My son is so interested in maps and globes that he would love to have this hanging in his room (though I might have to have it for my family room).
I teach environmental science and would love to hang this at school to inspire my students. They are so creative and I often do projects that incorporate art with science. I’m also a mama and when school’s out I would bring it home to hang in my toddler’s room.
Why I love this piece: first of all, I like how the center perspective is on Africa… The magazine mosaic is truly ‘children inspired’ and gives me that ‘warm and fuzzy’ feeling. I’d love to see it in person. The colors make me smile.
This painting reminds me of how beautiful our planet is. I would want beautiful children to see it. I would donate this painting to the Scottish Rite Hospital here in Dallas. Every child deserves to see the beauty the world has to offer them.
Great piece. Reminds me of my son and his constant quest for learning about the world we live in. Since we are in the process of redesigning his room, there would be a perfect place on his wall for it. With such a creative soul, I know he truly would appreciate the art!
I Sooo Love this. I would hang it up in my boys room! We just bought them a map that hangs on their wall and they have been marking all the places we visit (we live in Germany)! So now they are a bit obsessed with all maps! They would love this as well!
How gorgeous! If this found its way to our home, it would hang above our mantle (in our every-waking-moment-we’re-not-in-the-kitchen room) as a reminder of not only the beauty of our world, but that there is more to it than our tiny corner. (A reality that can be hard to forget in the busy-osity of our days)
Thanks for the opportunity!
What a awe-inspiring piece of artwork . If I won this beauty I would hang it near our bed so during Sunday morning family snuggle time we could be inspired and dream of the places we will travel, the people we will meet.
this is such an amazing piece of work, and such a generous giveaway! i love it because i have always been a huge fan am maps, ever since my grandpa gave me a globe for Christmas as a little girl. They are just so inspiring and dreamy and helpful when talking about the world. Now I have maps in almost every room, but none are as unique as this one.
