This Bubbling ferrofluidLight Works like a Magnetized Lava Lamp
For a brief period in the 90s, easy access to designer drugs and the ubiquity of Spencer Gifts resulted in many of us purchasing lava lamps.
After a few hours of watching melted balls of wax float around, the
drugs wore off and we regretted ever buying the stupid things. But
thanks to ferrofluid, the atomic age novelty may have a new lease on
life.Inventor Kyle Haines believes that the strongly magnetized liquids
known as ferrofluids can revive the lava lamp in the 21st century in a
device he calls The Inspiration. Much like a traditional wax lava lamp,
the blobs of ferrofluid in The Inspiration float up and down in response
to heat from an incandescent light bulb. The difference comes in the
magnetic properties of the ferrofluid. In the presence of neodymium
magnets, the ferrofluid reacts and forms spiky shapes that zip around
the lamp.Via: Kickstarter / How to Magnet – K-nano

Jack Storms, while also having a badass name, makes beautiful cold glass geometric sculptures. One of the few people who has this ability to grind out these beautiful geometric pieces. Each piece takes about 8 to 18 weeks to produce by cutting and splicing dichroic glass along with a shit-ton of grinding.
i destroyed an old digital camera and there was a tiny piece of this kind of glass inside i think….it’s kind of …nu-magic.
Just making some Silmarils, nbd
