hey guy's,
I finally finished my first lamp !! woohoo!
After 4 of them down the drain this one came out fantastic.
I call it "Tequila Sunrise" the lava is a beautiful tangerine orange with a yellow glow and the bottle was from Margarita Mix so I think the name fits :)
Hope they all come out half as good!

My wax has bubbles but not really noticeable. I used 100% bees wax, 91% alcohol and 70% alcohol.
Just melted the wax, poured it in the bottle, poured the 91% in when the wax melted again it sat on the bottom, I started to add the 70% in little doses until the wax started to rise a bit, then I added a couple of drops of dish detergent and continued to add 70% until the lava rose to the top and then fell back down.
I added a small piece of red oil pastel and it mixed with the natural tan color of the wax and I got that sweet tangerine color.
I am going to try another one, I hope I didn't just get lucky this first time.

beautifully done. When you turn it of does the alcohol harden? Mine did that and confused me. Love the name and how you came up with it.
Yes the whole thing hardened when it cooled. What causes that and is there any way to stop it from happening?
