<p>I drill in ceramics and glass when I make cookie jar conversion lava lamps (see my pics)</p>
<p>the trick is: BE PATIENT!</p>
<p>Starting is the hard part, (breaking the ceramic coating)</p>

<p>Have a water bottle handy and constantly add water for cooling and to wash away debris so it doesn't overheat or choke the drill bit</p>
<p>When you see your about to go all the way through, slow down the speed to a crawl</p> thanks folks.

<p>thanks folks.</p>
<p>I had some holiday pay, so I went to goodwill and found some items. I'm thinking of trying my hand at making some lava lamps. I'll grab a rivet gun and some diamond bits for the glass and ceramic. does anyone have any tips on putting holes in glass or ceramic? this haul should keep me busy during winter, also I found the perfect display shelf, it has a blurry mirror and everything!…</p>

I decided to use a large syringe to put the squiqqles of florescent paints. but I'm still checking pics and trying to tell myself not to overdo it with the squiqqles, but still get 3-4 colors on it.</p> Cool Gold Glitter

<p>The glitter gold looks just as good as I hoped. with a couple coats of clear coat on it too. use a bead reamer for the holes if you paint your aristocrat<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127106002?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127106002?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400"></img></a> <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127106353?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-left" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3127106353?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="350"></img></a> <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Peter Piper said:…</cite></p>
