About CHAMELEON ART & CRAFT

CHAMELEON ART & CRAFT

I'm an art and craft chameleon, making and creating a variety of lovely things, including books, journals and artwork.

I ran the innovative Chameleon Paint Workshop in the New Forest for over six years - hand painting furniture and interior accessories and teaching one day workshops in decorative paint techniques. I then discovered the delights of using gold leaf while learning the craft of bookbinding and also found an interesting and unique way of using this medium to create some stunning and original artwork, one of which was bought for the Krug Room, the head chef's private dining room at The Dorchester Hotel, London. I will have another art exhibition for my work in August 2020.

I also made and sold Bali style flags for weddings, private parties, camping and festivals but as I am now retired from the festival circuit I have returned to doing mostly bookbinding - a craft which I love as it allows me to experiment with so many combinations of material and colours to create unique notebooks and journals. I source good quality materials from specialist bookbinding suppliers and artisan printers including hand marbled papers and quality leathers as well as using preloved material from my own supplies.

I work from my home studio.

    Very special item, beautifully bound. Quick despatch and great packaging, many thanks!

    Beautifully wrapped notebook which was as lovely on arrival as it looked on the image when ordering. Will certainly order again as they make exquisite gifts for those hard to buy for people!

    Beautiful journal. Love the owl theme and the Harris Tweed is gorgeous. Super-fast delivery. Very happy indeed!
