Iron Art by Carlos™
Carlos Diaz joined As Green As It Gets™ in late 2006, where he found markets for his products and turned a pastime into a profitable business venture. When he started, he was making three dimensional butterflies and dragonflies. Ever the artist, he branched out to include ladybugs, grasshoppers, roosters, and snails. Soon after, he added removable stakes so the insects could appear flying in gardens. Then he added two dimensional iguanas for wall hangings and three dimensional wrought-iron iguanas. Everytime he came to a market, he had a new product or new idea in process.

Carlos and As Green As It Gets are now offering an artisan tour which includes a “Make your own iguana” class for tourists in Guatemala. He has redesigned his iguana so that clients, even those without years of metal working experience, can make a decorative wall hanging. Since iguanas aren’t for everyone, he also offers a class to make an owl instead.
