Comment by Dr. WHAT?! on July 18, 2012 at 8:03am: You know I think your on to something Crash! the lamp shade for the long neck of the bottle is a great idea for my bottle.

Comment by Dr. WHAT?! on July 17, 2012 at 9:15am: I think this bubble bottle is much bigger then the aurora bottle but I'm up for any suggeestions.

Comment by CRASHSUNDAYGUY on July 17, 2012 at 9:06am: Yes, it's the Aurora tea light, I couldn't remember the name. I have 3 of them. The bottle is 13". I put it on a really small base.It runs great with a 25 watt bulb, 40 watt was way too hot. I found a small lamp shade at Ikea for $3. I will post a picture here real quick.

Comment by Dr. WHAT?! on July 17, 2012 at 9:00am: I dont know if you have a Hobby Lobby by you or not but that's where I got it from. Same with this lamp Stacked Bottle.They come filled with peppers, lemons, and other crap that are a complete pain in the ass to get out of the bottle lol. I had to like rig up some coat hangers to get them out. But Hobby Lobby will most of the time have these bottles 50% off so the bubble bottle cost me $7 and some change. I have one more bottle sitting at home that's still filled and is triangle shaped and quite a big bottle. I'll take a pic later of it maybe I can scratch your brain on that one too.

Are you talking about the Aurora tealight lamp? how big are those? the bubble bottle is a pretty decent size, in that photo it's sitting on a 32 oz. base, the lamps next to it are 20 oz.

Comment by CRASHSUNDAYGUY on July 17, 2012 at 8:47am: I have hunted for hours all over the internet for that bottle. I have gone to dozens of Thrift Stores looking. I cant find it.

I have an idea for a base for it. I bought a few of the Tea light lava lamps. I ended up with an extra bottle without a stand. (They sell you two bottles and one stand) I will send you a picture. It might just work great.

Comment by Dr. WHAT?! on July 17, 2012 at 8:38am: I like it a lot! it has a steam punk quality to it. I have a bunch of weird shaped bottles with lava in it, that I'm always constantly look for a new style of base to put them on. Right now I'm trying to find a suitable base for my bubble lava http://oozinggoo.ning.com/photo/bubble-lava?context=user I've been looking at round vases to keep the consistency with the bubble look but I bet this bottle would look cool on that base. Its good inspiration ty ;)

Comment by CRASHSUNDAYGUY on July 17, 2012 at 8:30am: The one to the left of the smiley is a 52 oz. I bought a Batman Lamp on EBay, it came broken in the mail. The guy didn't pack it well at all. I took the cone from that and a post column base I found in a material surplus yard and put them together. It fit perfect. I repainted it and there it is. I will post some pictures of it flowing. It was really fast and easy. It's just a cone from an Icon slipped into a column base and paint. I think It's the easiest one I have done. It looks classy when it's running. You could have it on your desk at work and it would not look "Hippy".
