A year or two ago I stumbled across an artist who makes different soft sculptured toys, some of which happen to be chameleons and I’ve purchased a few of these, namely the limited edition Snowmeleon and Skelemeleon. I’ve worked with many different species of chameleons over the years and a few are near and dear to my heart so I got to thinking that it would be cool to have Abbey make some custom made chameleons based on actual specimens from my collection. I proposed the idea, sent a few pictures of the Trioceros cristatus and much to my delight Abbey was up for a new challenge.
I didn’t have any preconceived ideas on what that final product should be but I wanted her whimsical take on my animals. Didn’t involve myself in the design process but when she sent my final photos and I was blown away at how lovely they were. They arrived in the mail yesterday!
These are one of a kind toys and I can not be more thrilled with them.

And here are the original pieces that started it all.

Here are some more of Abbey’s chameleon pieces: http://onetruetree.deviantart.com/gallery/32947174 (Some of those Panthers are stunning! You can totally tell locale they are!)

If you are reading this Abbey thank you so much. I’m delighted with you and your work. I don’t think you know this yet, but the Trioceros goetzei are next.
Thanks for looking everyone.
Cheers,
Trace
