Acrylic Pouring Chameleon Cells: Creating Cells Within a Shape (Part 3)

Welcome to Part 3 of our Chameleon Cells series — the final and most challenging experiment of the journey (with timeline below). In this tutorial, we explore how to form Chameleon Cells inside a defined shape, guiding you through every stage from building the shape to pouring and containing the paints. This technique pushed us further than any previous experiment, but the results were incredibly rewarding. We hope you enjoy the process and discover ideas you can build upon in your own acrylic pouring adventures. And yes — this method sparked a brand‑new idea for a future shape… a Dragonfly canvas!
