Make whole walls of your house into giant lava lamps, utilising heat from lights and solar heat exchangers.

Art like fingerprints, no two ever the same.

       Lava lamp double glazing? - I like it.

       See if we can get this one into the next Austin Powers spoof?

       what about lava glass bricks, that would be cool every brick a different colour or make patterns

       If you can do a low temperature lava pool out back, I'd love to scuba dive in it.

       That would be neat. Perhaps you just need to resort to a heat-resistant SCUBA kit?

       should be easy enough to do. good small biz. market is probably not large.just a long thin fish tank with light on the bottom and some wax in the water.

       Lava-lamp Cathedral...

       This should have controls to pump in different coloured liquids - so when you want a bit of privacy the walls fill with a nearly opaque liquid, when it's sunny, maybe a pale blue liquid, etc.

       Can we do a lava lamp "stained-glass" window for those who can't afford to do a whole wall?   

       hippo, changing the water would be a lot easier to do than changing the wax, and you could choose a colour to match or complement the season, your mood, your dog or cat, or your spouse's new hair colour.

       [UB] pointed out this idea after I had posted my redundant Lavaquarium. Essentially the same: a big window looking out on a lava lamp. A big, big lavalamp, with wax globs the size of beluga whales surfacing for breath. One could have various colored waxes with different viscosities. The light would be below floor level, so you would have to get close and peer down to see the hellish depths where the wax whales dive to get warm. Maybe there could be a very viscous wax down there, undulating, seething, but never coming to the surface - wax Kraken!

       You could also have it tied into how much electricity your house was currently using to make it obvious if you were wasting energy, people would turn off lights and rememebr to shut off oven if they're walls were swirling a brighter red than normal
