We all learn from our mistakes and sometimes the worst messes can be the biggest breaks—the good kind of break. This edition of SPIDER Magazine looks at how we’ve turned problems into potential, created happy accidents, and learned how our mistakes can be masterpieces.
See how Benjamin accidental breaking of dish becomes a “bonding” experience, and how they save and recycle broken ceramics in a most creative way in Japan. Find happiness making a happi-mess and travel back to an ancient story about a tricky artist. Mad-libs, crafts, crayon goo, and a packing puzzle round out the messy, good times in this edition of SPIDER.
