THANKS, OOZING GOO FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND INTEREST OVER THE YEARS!

Mandatory post update is MANDATORY.

In addition to the modded lamps that I have been selling, I will soon be offering slow glitter in LOOSE form (not contained in one of my lamps)! A lot of you have been asking for a long time now. The glitter contained in that liquid can be ANY shape you choose, and many colors, including prismatic!

But for right now, you can design your perfect lamp in lava or glitter, at the following rates:

$40 per regular glitter

$45 for replacement color glitter

$50 for lava

$55 for Custom cut glitter in any shape

Post here or in a PM (you'll need to send me a friend invite first) with your color choices. Please also state whether you want a lava lamp or a glitter lamp. I also now offer replacement glitter in 14 colors! There is an additional charge of $5 per lamp for that, but the custom color combinations are almost limitless.

ALSO...I am finally taking orders for custom cut glitter! I can also do cut glitter in virtually ANY SHAPE, so let me know if you want something special! Higher rates apply if you need me to render your design from scratch, but not by much.

- I will make a mockup of the lamp that you requested if you would like, so that you can see it. Then, we'll both be sure we're on the same page, as far as what you want.

- This will be on a first-come, first-served basis, but orders requiring anodizing will have to be skipped temporarily. I hope to be able to mod several lamps in a day, so don't despair too much if you are down pretty far on the list!

- I have a set list of paint colors, but if you really want a color that is not listed, just tell me what color you want, whether you want matte, gloss, satin, metallic, satin, or fleckstone paint...I'll see if I can find it. I know that matte and metallic colors are harder to find in variety though, so be aware of that. I can also seal your glossy lamp with a matte sealer, if you like.

- Once you have made your final decisions, you can send payments to my paypal address. I will then begin work immediately on your order,

Please note - I STILL am not currently equipped to handle anodizing...only unpainted silver bases, and painted ones until then. If you want metallic blue, red, grey, gold, silver, bronze, amber, or black, and do not want to wait, I have metallic paint in those colors. Just state your desires in your post. :)

This order is a statement that you intend to buy, but I'm not a nazi. I understand that life sometimes throws curve balls at us all. Only, if you have to cancel, please do it as soon as you can, to decrease the chances that I've made your order already!

Loren, are you still making these?

[Loren]

I sure am!

In fact, I now can offer 4 new metallic paint colors! :)

They are pink, purple, black cherry, and green!

[John]

Awesome! I would like one in gloss black, with clear liquid and dark pink, square confetti glitter. Here's a picture of what I'm looking for. It's the lamp in the middle front.

[Loren]

I can do the square glitter, but unfortunately I don't have pink glitter film yet. :(

However, I can do pink liquid with silver squares for you.

I had to cancel my glitter film order, but maybe I can re-order it?

If the pink liquid/silver glitter trick doesn't sound acceptable to you, I can try to contact my supplier!

[Loren]

Are you sure that isn't pink liquid in that gemlite, though?

[Marley's Ghost]

Loren, that's Erin's Gemlite.   She has pics of it on her page.  The liquid is clear and the glitter is a combo of pink and lavender.   Lovely lamp.

[Loren]

Oh wow! Awesome...

Well I went ahead and contacted my supplier. I won't hear back until Sunday night (Monday morning China time :p) at the earliest, but I asked for pictures of the films they're wanting to sell to me. One of them is pink, but I want to make sure that it's a good strong pink...not a pale pink.

[John]

Hey Loren.

Yes, I would really like clear liquid with dark pink confetti like Erin's. Sorry to be so picky, but I'm trying to re-create some childhood memories. Mid-life crisis, I guess. Let me know what your supplier has to say. Thanks!

[Loren]

It's been Chinese New Year over there, and I did get one message from them saying "sorry for the wait", so I'll keep you posted, John!

In the meantime, I have an announcement to make:

Unfortunately, I cannot offer loose glitter any more, until further notice. :( I actually do have some, but it's all orange. I no longer have ANY clear glitter liquid that is not in a lamp. If I suddenly get a glut of lava orders then that will definitely change, but I don't want to cannibalize these lamps, if I don't absolutely have to.

In the meantime, anybody who is interested in purchasing loose glitter can talk to Kirk. Post here, and let him know what you need!

He makes fast glitters, and I do slow glitters, but he can do just about any amount of glitter fluid, in many colors!

Also, I am nearing the end of my stash of lamps to mod. I am looking into ordering more, but in the meantime I have about 20 of these left. That means I've sold close to 100 lamps! :)

THANK YOU, everybody! It means a lot to me that you like my lamps enough to purchase them over the last few years. :)

But I do still have 20 lamps available, if anyone wants a custom glitter or lava!

Just let me know!

[John]

Loren,

By "lose glitter," do you mean the glitter film/flakes itself, or glitter and liquid combinations? Are you making the fluid yourself, or taking that from existing lamps? I had been counting on buying some glitter/fluid from you at some point with square confetti. Am I out of luck?

-John

[Kirk]

Loren - thanks so much for the plug and link to my glitter liquid discovery/for sale discussion.  I'm honored.

I thought that you were wanting a lamp with that glitter in it...I'm sorry, I misunderstood. :( I don't want to gut any more of these lamps before I get some lava orders...but if I do, I will definitely keep it for you! How much did you need?

I had an order of 100 lamps made (with a few thrown in to fill out the cartons) a couple of years ago, when my dad got Parkinson's disease, and I had to quit my job to take care of him. Starting this small business was the best way for me to have my own schedule, so that I could warp it around my dad's. I always told myself that I'd have to be sure and crack the code of this glitter fluid before the shipment ran out, because I didn't know if I'd be able to get another one, but try as I might, that never happened. So I simply modded the contents of the glitter lamps for customers. When people ordered a lava lamp, I poured out the glitter fluid and saved it back to sell it, to offset the cost of the gookits.

Then I got too many orders for glitter fluid, and suddenly I had to gut 4-5 lamps, just to fill them. now I HAVE to put lava in those lamps I emptied, or they remain empty and unsold. My dream was to sell custom cut glitters...not empty lamps at cost.

Kirk makes a different type of glitter fluid, but he cracked the code! He has given me new hope that I can do it, if I just keep at it. :) I am so close...I won't give up!
