Inspired by the success of the “Gallery of Desks” and “Most Recent Ride” threads, and the disturbing sight of a switched off Lava Lamp in one of those, I thought I’d create a gallery for one of my favourite addictions.
It was off because I took that picture at like midnight and it had already burned long enough that day. I love to feel their warmth. In the next week or so once I get a decent school schedule going again I will put it back on the timer.
Most times they can be rescued.
Get a timer-switch and set it to burn for it’s daily allotment every single day (big bottle - 10hours, small bottle - 8hours).
It may take a couple of months but you will see it will return to(wards) it’s old self.
Here are some pics of my office lamps.
As you can see, the station colour is orange, in the background you can just make out my two lamps in the window of my production studio.
The one is orange, the other white wax in purple liquid, but for some reason it looks incredibly orange.
The yellow liquid, red wax one standing on it’s own I actually found as is in a secondhand store. They sold me the bottle on it’s own for R5 (the equivalent of a can of Coke). A friend of mine runs a sandblasting business and I asked her to see if it’s possible to do sandblasting on the bottle itself.
It worked fine, I’m trying to get the station to get a bunch of orange ones, have them sandblasted with the station logo and use them as prizes for my Golden Oldies show on a Sunday.
