happiest glass chameleon ever

Ya!  "be the change" is 20 x 36 inches.  Wow, now that I am sharing more of my ideas as I am working on something, I am noticing just how much I change my mind.  I reread a previous post and see that I was going to put purple flowers in this.  I can't even imagine that now.  I was looking over notes that I made for myself and instead of beetles, it was to be dragon flies.  Weird.
Anyway, this is a really simple signature tile but I stand behind it.  I try to add a little fun close to my signature in some form, like paint spatter on the frame or some type of deviation in the border.  In this case, I put the beetles right there.
These dots and "beads" are strewn through the whole mosaic.  Virtually everything featured is rounded, the background is all square and rectangular.
I have a few extra photos of the chameleon fabrication in a  video on a Bored Panda post.  If you're on BP, give it a thumbs up, please!

fern and fiddlehead

This is where my chameleon is right now.  A few of these tiles have moved since this photo but almost all of them are now adhered.  Then actually everything else should be breezy.  The chameleon, fiddleheads, and fern are curvy.  Everything else will be square or rectangle, brown or green.  I have some cool mottles to work with. When it gets to this part, I put in long days because I hate to quit.
