Anyone into making Chamaeleon art, carvings, gardening etc?

[Crackhead]

I would imagine this photos been posted before, sorry for a repost if it has. I'm pretty sure this is up in Montreal.

I did a relief carving of one of my male veiled chameleon's many years ago, I'll try to find it and post a photo tomorrow. My garage is full of boxes so it'll be interesting to see it again. Along with stuff I really don't need anymore lol...

I'd like to see what everyone's hobbies are concerning chamaeleons. No judgments -
Tks

No artsy hobbies for me but the carving sounds really cool!

I draw Apollo every now and then but other than that not really lol

Aren’t chameleons themselves a hobby?
Last year I started painting. Chams are hard to do and I have to fix Grumpy’s ‘crazy eyes’ still. (I painted that to put on the door to their room.) Much easier to do my other pets.

I’m working on a watercolor collab of different chams right now actually!

I do a lot of woodcarving, some landscaping, veggie gardening, and epoxy. Ive sold tons of my work but I’m still hesitant to call myself a legit artist. Several members here have purchased some of my work.

I do everything from tables, to cutting boards, clocks, wall art, display stands, business signs, you name it I can build it. But I specialize in high end live edge furniture

Sign below was made to take pics of Roux as he grew.

I’v been on a driftwood kick lately, I’m going to fill the voids in these branches with a blue photo luminescent blue pigment to add to Roux’s free range. The completed pic below is not my work but was my inspiration.

My clocks sell faster than I can ever hope to make them.

I use a saw everyday, those blades would make for some fancy cutting!! They look cool!!

Here's a sketch from yesterday lol, just finished it

My fractal burning work has been in high demand lately as well!

Drawing and painting. Chameleons are fun to work on.

Thanks Salty. They would look a hell of a lot cooler hanging on your wall!

Just sayin’ lol....

I didn't expect the demand I got when this all first started. Seriously considering quitting my plant job and go into manufacturing man glitter full time. The pace has steadily increased over the last year, if that continues I’m going for it.

WOW....
I love the drawings and paintings!!! You guys are cool for posting your work, thanks

Brodybreaux25 you scare the crap out of me with the Frankenstein electrical stuff lmao... I've got a pacemaker and spinal cord stimulator implanted in me and if I came over I'd die from the currents you're running lololol. Your art and imagination is right up my ally though BURN ON

I went through about 8 boxes and filled up 3 large trash cans and had to stop as the sun was going down, it got to cold :/ I'll keep looking tomorrow for my Vailed carving, it was my first try at a relief. I was pretty proud of it back then. I haven't seen it in 15-20yrs. Once I find it I'll probably be embarrassed :/ but I'll post it anyways. Today I got RICH I found 10 sheets of uncut bills, I completely forgot I owned and have no idea why I have'm, but hey money's money . I did find two frogs, one is on top of a wooden curtain rod that I carved a bunch of stupid stuff on and a green frog.
I love the work and respect the time that it takes to do what you guys have done. Respect,.,.

 

[janjan20]

That frog is pretty good! Always nice to find stashed cash lol!

Thanks Crack head! I’m going to take a shot at relief some day soon, I’d like to carve faux rock faces whenever I’m installing marble-ish looking countertops.

Anyone will die! Lol that’s 10,000v! People every year doing this, maybe 3 last year. The transformer I use to do all that is no more dangerous than any other power tool.

If you don’t respect what it can do to you, it will bite you one day.

I hope I don't get in trouble with the Mods not talking about said subject, but I love your work and maybe you could give me advise on the side as your finish work and skill level is over the top. I used to build military models/paint etc professionally before my medical issues, now mind/hands a little off lol. Some friends/people would say I've always been off lmao. That's why I drink more
I've had this board for years waiting for things to chill out as I want to make it into a table. Like the one with pipe wrenches as legs, but I'm not sure if I'd need to coat it or leave it natural as I'm not sure about the cut in's for the pinch look? I'm getting close to clearing out some room in the garage and feeling better so I'm hoping I can start that project soon.
PS I know why people die using your Frankenstein techniques . That's crazy
I got close to a buddy welding as I forgot about my implants and my dr asked if I was ok as my implants within went crazy lol. Wireless transmissions every few months to his office, he said stay away from high voltage, lessons learned. You sir have high voltage!!!

Thank you. I’m not even going to BS you, I’m stealing that table leg idea! Been doing this a while now, never seen that before.

Just like my page, you can message me from there or here on the forums. I’d gladly answer any questions you have.

Never natural finish, you looking for a high gloss finish or honed like in the pic you sent?

Was Building this table tonight, first clear coat is on. Spalted Pecan Table top with Coffee epoxy river With BB Epoxy’s signature inlay.

I knew you'd appreciate that, I've been sitting on this project for a couple years lol. Not showing anyone my secret stolen table photos lmao. If I have to give stolen ideas away to someone who might help me I'm all in . Shhhhhh
I'm still out a month as my trash cans are full from yesterday's mess my neighbors aren't happy as I took their room lol. But I'll message you so I can start my planning. I've been planning for yrs so what's another month right
Thank you and again and I love your work, I'm not sure what kinda finish I would need. It couldn't be to thick do to the leg design. But having a design or colored insert running through it would be over the top...

Man you girls are all in, I love the drawings and paintings. I draw/paint like a 2yr old
I used to be great with an airbrush though. I'm missing the hobby so you guys are getting me excited again. Tks
