Cheers Jo, the 2nd shot is created using my bubble tank: Click Here Basically filled 1/2 way with golden syrup, strong diffuse backlight (I used a piece of white card to reflect the light from an old desk lamp) and just mix some black food dye into the syrup using a long thin stick. The dye doesn't mix with the syrup very well and creates the beautiful smokey structures, the strong backlight washes the colour out of the syrup if you slightly over-expose the shot!

1,3 and 4 are made in petri dishes (any shallow transparent container will do), just play around with thin layers of syrup mixed with food dye for all the various effects. For lighting I use a home made light table consisting of an old sandwich box with an energy saving bulb mounted inside!!

Looking really good Carl. Like the last one, almost looks like patterns in sand.

Thnaks Paul, reminds me of lava!!
