Cape Breton Chicken Coaster

Description

Cape Breton Chicken Coaster

The photograph of this Cape Breton chicken, was taken on a vacation to Nova Scotia. Our host had chickens on her farm. This chicken was so cute and playful. How it’s created I take the photograph and manually transfer the image to a travertine tile. I use the travertine tile because it has some character to it and it compliments the farm feel of the chicken and most things vintage. The bottom of the coaster has a cork backing to protect your furniture from scratching.

ABOUT KELLY

Born in and raised in Vancouver, BC Canada, I was surrounded by beauty from my beginnings. Receiving my first camera at the age of 13, was the beginning of a new and enduring love. My camera has been an extension of who I am.

Being quite shy in my younger years, the camera became my voice. I could be part of something and hide behind my camera. It would bring conversations to me when I showed people my photographs. I can share my view of the world without a word.

People ask what kind of photography I do and I stumble for the answer. I photograph whatever interests me at the time. Sometimes, it’s a rusty lock on a chain that looks so old that it wouldn’t dare be opened. Other time, it’s capturing the pure joy in someone’s face when they see a long time lover, or a new addition to the family. It could be the shape of a body and how the sweat glistens in the light in such a way you can almost feel the muscles aching underneath the skin.

VERA (my camera)

I love that I have an amazing tool that enables me to freeze a moment in time. I am grateful for my camera that allows me to take what I see and share for all to see. In addition, I found my first love at 13. I wasn’t always able to give it my full attention and love, but it was there for me when I had time to appreciate it. My camera has been my true friend and has always stuck with me. I have upgraded her but her essence has always been there.
