WIN A MATHMOS LAMP or Which finish would you like to see on a mathmos base?

[Arne]

Since I still have two or three bases left for project-o-fun I though why not ask the community.
So is there any finish (nothing like platinum plating or covering in real saphires or so please)
you would have liked mathmos to do or you would want to do yourself but dont wanne risk fucking up your precious lamp untill you know it will be as cool as you imagine? Tell me and I'll try. The two or three ones I also like most will be done and I'll make a tutorial how to do yourself if it turns out to be nice.
I cant do stuff like flocking...tried...looks very very...not good! but there are loads of paints, coatings, glitter, or experiments like paints based on different solvents who hate each other I can try

Ok maybe we need some extra spice for this thread...cant belive that there are not more ideas out there...or do you all just take whats given to ya by the big lables out there!?
So if there are some creative people here read this :
As soon as I have 10 valid (possible to do without special machines) suggestions I will pick
one and the member who provides the idea gets a lamp made in a finish of his choice and I will send it for free...

[Arne]

there are nice parts though, its all just a matter of practice

Well done Arne... bet it looks even better in person.

Alladin by some coincidence involving wind, getting out of patience and the total nastyness of especially this paint here we have mother of pearl with a more organic look...I like it...but it wasnt supposed to look like this :)

[Arne]

hmm since I have done more than one idea I think I will just write all your names down, put em in a box let my girlfriend choose one...this way it seems fair and I have an excuse to blindfold my girlfriend...win win :) btw I'm donating a rocket style telstar base with finish of your choice from the one I have made so far.

[Arne]

just to let you know, aladdin 2 lava has one the telstar base but if some of you want me to do customs for them, I'm open for bookings ;)

[Arne]

OMG one? must have been early...won of course ...oh dear how embarrassing

Yippee... Thanks Arne... I've always wanted a METALLIC RED Telstar!

Thanks Haze... I love the swirl on the Comet base but don't think it would work on a Telstar!

Congrats Aladdin.

 

Extremely nice of Arne to offer this to us.

 

If I were to chose which one looked the coolest, it would be the swirl. That lamp is classy looking.
