My First 2 Glitter Mods!

Here they are...finally! I've made an amber one, which you see on the left, and an orange one, which is on the right. I'm really happy with the way both colors turned out! I had already experimented with food color and water, and wrote down all the formulas, but these are the first two actual lamps. :)

Comment by Loren on July 21, 2012 at 11:03am: Well, what I was going for was "iodine"...kinda deep reddish-brown, but it came out more like beer bottle brown, but with more orange in it. The only color I could find which describes it is amber, but perhaps I should call it "deep amber" or something, because actual amber is more light toned, unless it's Russian amber, or a huge chunk of regular amber.

Comment by G. T. on July 20, 2012 at 10:45pm: Actually, this amber one interests me too...for some reason, it's hard for me to tell the color, maybe because it's next to the bright orange one. Is it like a dark gold shade? If not, could you describe it a little?

Comment by Loren on July 19, 2012 at 9:46pm: Yes, I'm selling them for $40. :)

And thanks, Da9L!

Comment by Derek Hyde on July 19, 2012 at 5:09pm: You're selling these?

Comment by Da9L on July 19, 2012 at 2:48pm: Holy shit ! The amber one looks fantastic ! The first glitter lamp i have actually liked! :)

Comment by Loren on July 19, 2012 at 2:25pm: Thank you! :)

Those were not painted in those images, but I did paint the orange one matte black afterward.

As for the glitter flow, I'm very pleased with that. Unlike other glitter lamps that I have, the jetstream is not narrow and in the middle...it's more like the whole thing is billowing, and rising and falling at the same time. I'll try and get a video of that posted on youtube tonight, so that people can see. We just lost our killer connection when we moved out here...this one is super lame in comparison...but wish me luck!

Comment by G. T. on July 19, 2012 at 5:09am: Don't know which I like better, they're both beautiful. The colors are so vivid. Bet they look great when they're lit and working. Are these bases painted also? I almost like the silver better. Does the glitter flow up in the middle and cascade down the sides?

Comment by Loren on July 17, 2012 at 8:01pm: Thanks, Erin!! :D

Comment by Erin on July 17, 2012 at 8:00pm: Going to be hard to pick out my first color...

Comment by Loren on July 17, 2012 at 7:55pm: The amber is darker than just about any other glitter lamp I've ever seen. I thought it was TOO dark, but it actually looks great when it's running. :)
