Ice Ice Baby

After spending a majority of my day in the freezing cold, I can finally say I am warm again.  I played around in with some water, which created these pretty ice abstract images.  I feel like I am in an ice cave, looking out through the few windows, that have been covered with ice for years.  Enjoy!

Snow and Ice…is very nice!

As many people in the USA, I have been dealing with the extreme cold temperatures of 2014.  In Cleveland, Ohio today, it got down below 10 degrees, with a wind chill of -30.  So naturally, I grabbed my camera and went to explore the ice!  I live in a town that has beautiful waterfalls, and I knew that they would create some very unique images.  The waterfalls were not completely frozen, but had many different pieces of ice incorporated.  The water and ice working together, remind me of an alternate universe, a universe where the glass blowing artist Chihuly would live.  Enjoy… and stay warm!

Coasters…Coasters…and more COASTERS!

In the past week or so, I have been diving into the Esty world, and learning that it is a very vast world!  I opened my Tiffany O’Neill Photo shop on Etsy, and began uploading images of prints that people can buy.  I know that many people don’t change their artwork in their homes very often so that got me thinking of different ways to use my images.  

The first thing that I noticed was that there are copious amounts of coasters on Etsy.  I am clearly not inventing the wheel here.  I did notice that there are not many coasters of my home town, Cleveland, or Chagrin Falls for that matter.  So that is where my coasters come in.  I have many different images of Ohio, Cleveland, and Chagrin Falls, so I got to work.  I believe that these coasters could add to a home’s decor, and be some nice conversation pieces at a party.  

The first coasters that I thought of were Cleveland based.  We have many different landmarks in Cleveland, so these are just the beginning.  

Cleveland Skyline CoasterThis is a set of 4 coasters, all of which have my image of the Cleveland Skyline in Black and White.  

Cleveland Rocks!This set of coasters I call the CLEVELAND ROCKS! It has 2 coasters with the Skyline, and 2 coasters with an image of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  You can’t come to Cleveland and not see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! 

West Side MarketAnd finally we have my favorite landmark in Cleveland, the West Side Market.  One of the oldest markets in the nation!  

All of my coasters are made out of ceramic tile, with felt on the back to avoid scratching the tables.  That is the point of a coaster right…to protect the table?  All of the images are taken by me, Tiffany O’Neill, and are printed professionally.  These coasters can be purchased on my Esty shop for $25.o0 a set.  Please spread the word, and follow my journey on Etsy!  

Do you have a shop on Etsy?  If so, I would love to see it.  Please share!
