How 'Game of Thrones' Helped Save a Farm in Northern Ireland | At his farm in Northern Ireland, Kenny Gracey raises breeds of farm animals that are native to the British Isles. But a few years back, his farm fell on hard times. Coincidentally, right around that same time, "Game of Thrones" began filming its first season and needed animals for the show's background scenes. The show's producers asked Gracey whether he'd be willing to supply these animals, and he agreed. This farm might be the only thing that didn't die on "Game of Thrones." | | The Globemakers: Craft with a Modern Spin | When Peter Bellerby couldn't find the perfect handmade globe for his father's 80th birthday, he took matters into his own hands. He spent the next few years learning and perfecting the lost art of globemaking, which turned out to be a difficult, detailed process. Today, he runs Bellerby & Co Globemakers out of a small London studio with a team of 15 skilled craftsmen who create every masterpiece by hand. | | | | | |
