Pencil Shaving Chameleon
During the corona quarantine, I was, like most people, bored out of my mind. So I started a project which would take me a while. I wanted to use the bottle caps I had laying around to create scales on a chameleon head. Though, I quickly realized that the bottle caps were way too big to cover the detailed shape I had made with the head. So after looking around my room for what else to use, my eyes came across the container where I shaved my pencils into, and thus the idea to use these, was conceived.

After using iron wire to create the shape, I covered the head with paper maché


Here I started with the first few scales and play with the colors too. I also added two marbles for eyes.
