Days 46-63 of #100DaysofDublinDoors On my quest to fulfill my #100DayProject and capture #100DaysofDublinDoors, there has been one color so far that has given me some trouble. That color? Orange. Who would've guessed that this vibrant color wasn't very popular? I certainly didn't! At the beginning of the project I saw several, so I didn't... Continue Reading →
I recently enjoyed a Sunday at the National Print Museum in Dublin at an Experimental Letterpress workshop taught by Mary Plunkett. Mary introduced us to the museum’s glorious collection of wood type and the basics of inking and printing by hand to start. It was immediately satisfying to see the texture of old wood type...

Days 37-45 of #100DaysofDublinDoors Hi there! Days 37-45 of my #100DayProject had me hunting down what I came to think of as the sun-shiniest doors in all of Dublin. So cheery, so yellow... and then progressing into so orange! This set also happens to be the most clear color progression that I set out for,... Continue Reading →
I've had many lovely people inquire recently if I'm going to reactivate my Glass Elements online shop soon. As of right now, since I don't have a studio space here in Dublin and I've been focused on exploring new opportunities, I won't be re-opening the shop just yet. But---No worries, friends!---the The Handmade Showroom has... Continue Reading →
AKA: Days 28-36 of #100DaysofDublinDoors Hi friends! I've waited a little bit longer to post these next set of doors since I've found that a set of 9 worked better with how I lined them up in my recent post. Thankfully, a tenet of #the100DayProject is that the rules are made up. What does that... Continue Reading →

The one named "Ashburton" is my fave from the above set... which is yours? An integral and fun part of the #100DayProject mindset is to celebrate the small milestones of continuing with a...

I've never lived close enough to walk to the shore daily. Drive, sure---I did grow up in Eastern CT and just spent the last decade+ on the West Coast, so I haven't been land-locked by any means. But we weren't really walking distance to the shore. OK, so Jon walking distance---but he's a walking machine... Continue Reading →
Days 13-18 of #100DaysofDublinDoors Hi friends!I hope you enjoyed your Easter weekend. Here in Ireland, most people get a day off for a "Bank Holiday Monday" creating a lovely 3 day weekend.

Days 7-12 of #100DaysofDublinDoors Hi friends! Have you been following along on Instagram everyday? Have you noticed a pattern or theme yet? It might take a few more doors to see where I'm headed with this project... Days 7-12 still found us close to our new home, and along the walking route I often take... Continue Reading →
Balance. Serenity. Peace. I don't remember when I first started building cairns. I'd been collecting stones, shells and random natural ephemera since I was a kid. Free souvenirs, I guess. Blue Pools, New Zealand But the balancing, that came later. And it didn't come with ease. It still doesn't. I can't balance when I'm distracted... Continue Reading →
