Ua hele mai au i kēia mokupuni he 44 makahiki aku nei.

I koʻu piha ʻana i koʻu mau makahiki he 20, ua hoʻolimalima au i kahi keʻena me nā Bentons a noho au ma ka home o Thomas Hart Benton ma Aquinn ma Herring Creek. Noho ʻo Tippy ke keiki a Benton ma ka ʻaoʻao.

Ke hoʻomau nei i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lei a me nā mea nani, makemake nui wau e hele i Italia, ʻoi aku hoʻi i Venice. No koʻu lā hānau he 50 a me ka 50 o kaʻu kāne ʻo Richard, ua hele mākou i Venice a ua hoʻoikaika ʻia au e nā mosaics a me nā tile ma laila.

A laila, kauoha wau i nā kīleʻa biscuit kī ʻole ʻia. Hiki iaʻu ke kūkulu ma luna o lākou - ʻo kaʻu mau tile kēia. Makemake au i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻeke mahina, nā ʻeke kai, nā aniani kai, nā ʻōpala o loko, nā nugget turquoise a me ka abalone. ʻO ka mua, e loaʻa iaʻu nā pūpū… E ʻokiʻoki au i nā kiʻi a palahalaha e like me ka hiki.

E hui pū au i kēia mau kini a pau o ka epoxy me ka pena. Makewai iaʻu - makemake au ia - kala, mea nui loa.
Makemake wau e noʻonoʻo i nā mea hana tile mua ma Venice; e like me kā lākou, paʻa loa kēia mau tile. Ua makemake au i kaʻu e maʻemaʻe loa, no laila, ʻoki au i nā pūpū āpau me ka lahilahi a hiki ke hoʻokahe i nā ʻāpana me ka resin tinted. Ma hope o ʻelima mau lā o ke kali ʻana, ua paʻakikī ka resin a ua hiki iaʻu ke hoʻoneʻe i ka tile i lalo i kahi maʻalahi. He huila wili ko'u, pono ke one i ekolu a eha paha, a poni au.

Ke hoʻolālā nei kekahi mea kūʻai aku i kahi kīhini hou ma Chilmark a loaʻa iā ia ka manaʻo e kau i kaʻu mau tile liʻiliʻi ma kahi nui o ka infill e hana i kahi countertop.

Hāʻawi wau i ka mea kūʻai aku i kahi papa kala, hiki iā mākou ke heluhelu i nā puke, hiki iā mākou ke koho i nā kala. Ua hana au i kīhini no ka poʻe makemake nui i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo - kekahi kala o ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo - manaʻo wau ua hana wau i 13 tile i hoʻopili ʻia.
Ua hana au i kahi papa lāʻau i hiki iaʻu ke lawe i nā tile accent ma nā wahi a pau, hiki i nā kānaka ke lawe a hoʻāʻo iā lākou ma nā wahi a lākou e ʻike ai he kūpono. Malia paha he tile ma ke kua o ke kapuahi a i ʻole kahi mantelpiece. Mai ka inlay, ua hana au i nā noho lāʻau liʻiliʻi.

ʻO Martha's Vineyard Tile Co. aia nā ʻāpana tile, hoʻouna mai lākou iaʻu i nā kauoha. No nā papahana kūikawā, hiki i nā kānaka ke hoʻopili pololei mai iaʻu.
E hana wau i kēlā me kēia kau ʻana. Ua hoʻomaka wau ma ke ʻano he mea hana pōhaku lepo, e hui pū ana i ka honua no koʻu makua kāne hānai makemake e hoʻomoe pōhaku.

Pili kaʻu hana i 3rd Masonry, 3rd Music a me 3rd Fishing - he kaulike maikaʻi loa. Laki wau i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻāina ke hiki ke pae i ka mokupuni, a ua lanakila au i kēia puʻu. I ka hopena, ua hiki iaʻu ke hoʻololi i nā mea hou aʻe ma mua o ka hana kūikawā - he ola maikaʻi loa.
I kekahi manawa loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hana masonry nui a pono ʻoe e hana. I ke kauwela ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka waiho ʻole, inā hiki iaʻu ke kōkua.

Ua aʻo au i ka hana noʻeau ma ke ʻano he haumāna lae pua a laila ma ke ʻano he haumāna puka ma ka pena kiʻi; i kēia manawa he hale kiʻi pena koʻu ma Grape Harbor. ʻAe, he kūʻē maoli nō lākou: ʻoihana a me ka hana lima. ʻO ka hana ʻana i nā kukui ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi.
