Rob Johnstone makes a lamp by using tinted epoxy panels as the "glass" shades. He uses Eye Candy Pigments to tint the epoxy.

Mica powder is made from a reflective stone mineral that has a naturally glassy shimmer. When mixed into epoxy resins, lacquers, paints, plastics, candles and other DIY crafting projects, it creates an eye-catching metallic shine. Eye Candy mica pigment powders are available in a wide range of vibrant colors, all using top-quality base materials. The ultra-fine pearls are 10-60 microns in size* (with exceptions; see note at bottom) to better blend with a wide variety of mediums. Their natural sparkle and sense of depth makes them perfect for slab-style river tables and other deep pour epoxy projects.
