A True Frankenlamp!

Lamp base is a Lava Lite China from Autumn's watermelon Neon (she only wanted the globe and cap). Globe is a 1984 Century - same as the cap. The contents are from Loren.

Drilled pinholes and painted - it turned out really cool! The paint is textured and has little glitter pieces in it. Subtle, but neat up close.

It doesn't have a footed base - it's just sitting on a candle holder until it properly cures. :)

NOW! What color to dye the liquid? Keeping it clear is not an option!

Comment by Metallica Man Trevor on May 19, 2013 at 10:35pm: Love those textured paints. I found a green one while back but never saw it again :-(

Comment by Marley's Ghost on May 19, 2013 at 9:56pm: I think Magenta sounds like a very nice color too, Erin!! I am still in awe of your base!!

Comment by Kirk on May 19, 2013 at 8:49pm: Magenta sounds great!

Comment by Erin on May 19, 2013 at 8:46pm: Thanks for the compliment Libby. I'm pleased! Messing around with it in Photoshop to try out colors. I'd like to do a magenta...

Comment by Erin on May 19, 2013 at 8:42pm: Seriously, this paint I used was AWESOME. I'll have to go find out what it was. I'm pretty sure it's this stuff: http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=464 - Textured Metallic, color Galaxy.

Comment by Marley's Ghost on May 19, 2013 at 8:39pm: Oh WoW, Erin, I love "Frankenlamp!" You did a fabulous paint job, it looks wonderful. I can't even think about liquid colors for admiring the base. :-)

Comment by Erin on May 19, 2013 at 8:39pm: Thanks Kirk! :) I love most colors except yellow. Purple isn't my fave either, but it *is* gorgeous in a Wizard. Maybe if I could do a kind-of purple/blue...
