  PernGlobeFront.jpg - A front view of the Pern globe that Steven M. Beard made for Anne McCaffrey. For this (and other services and friendship) she dedicated the book Skies of Pern to Steven. The globe was made from a plastic plumber's ball-cock (i.e. a float). Steven sanded down the edges to make it spherical and painted the surface using household emulsion paint mixed with some luminous paint to make the seas glow a little in the dark. All the Holds and Weyrs are marked with small blobs of luminous paint so they stand out in the dark.
