Description
Made forYou will need:
- watercolor paper (I used 200g/m2, cold pressed, acid free);
- a bottle of bubbles;
- watercolor or drawing inks (I used both);
- container;
- a straw;
- you will also need some scrap paper or newspaper to cover things in the working area. The whole thing may turn out to be the dirtiest thing you ever made. (:
Directions:
First, pour some bubbles into a container, and add few drops of ink and watercolor. It's important not to put too much color (It can prevent bubbles from blowing). So, drop by drop you get the right color. Note: you may not need watercolor, but I wasn't satisfied with ink alone. (:
Second, put the paper on newspapers or scrap paper in order to protect bubbles from messing around.. Dip the straw into the liquid you've prepared, place it above the paper.. and.. blow...
Note: If you have hard time making bubbles, here are some tips. Shake or tap the straw before exhaling to let out excessive liquid. Donβt exhale to hard, do it softly. Blow one bubble at once. Practise! Be careful, inky bubbles can fly on your clothes and leave spots.
Last one, let the paper dry completely. Note: it's desirable, no iron, no fan.
Extra: experiment with different colors, size of bubbles, splashes, strength of blowing. Pop bubbles intentionally and have fun.
If you have any questions, you are more than welcome!

Thanks.
Well, a year ago(when I just started to draw) I found this technique on a site of one craftswoman. At first, I wondered if it's ever going to work. And later I came up with that unexpected result. Since there was nothing like that on DA, I posted it to share with you. (:

Ahh bubbles!!!!! *flails* Why won't you workkk????!
OKAY! I need your help! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I THINK I might be using TOO much water. I only have watercolors and Gouche paints for the colors. What kind of ink are you talking about?
When I blow into the straw, the bubble pops and spews out color pigment splatters. D:

Ok. I'll try to help
-"I THINK I might be using TOO much water."
- hum.. no water is needed. just bubble solution + paint(note: add colors by drops. So, if you have 5spoons of bubbles, you add only 3-5drops of color)
- "What kind of ink are you talking about?"
- I used plain drawing ink..
Did you do your bubble solution yourself? Does it blow bubbles without adding color?
Splashes and failure sound familiar to me. Here is a way out. Shake or tap the straw before exhaling to let out excessive liquid! This is important. And practice more .

This is very cool.
I wonder if it would work with homemade bubble solutions.
My Grandmother used to make homemade bubbles with liquid dish soap thinned out with water I think.
I will have to give it a try this weekend.
Thank you so much for the inspiration.

this was not a philosophical question, it was a pragmatic question.
I mean, would you use it?
