Bubble Painting
From: Unknown
Subject: Bubble Printing
Put some liquid dish soap and about three times as much water in a flat bottomed dish that is larger than your paper (I did cards). Put a squirt of acrylic paint in mixture-the more paint the darker the color. Use a stra to blow bubbles in water and when it's all bubble up put card on top of the bubbles. Don't get it into the soap mixture but right above. Let it dry.

Actually tried the bubble printing awhile ago. Below is what I got from someone else. Here are my comments. I cut paper to fit the bowl I was using at first, but then used reg. sheets of glossy. (tried a shallow pan and guess I just didn't have enough depth, so poured it into the middle of the three pyrex bowls I have) I can't say what amts of stuff I put in-am sure it wasn't three parts water to the amt of soap, probably more like one to five, but you can experiment. I put in some paint, didn't like it so put in some more-the mix is quite definitely the color, so just try one and if you want it darker, add more. I blew bubbles till there was a huge ball of bubbles, just about to go over the edge of the bowl-probably about as many bubbles as the bowl was big. I actually was able to print a whole sheet with this by putting most of it down onto the bubbles, then the other end (about ¼ of the paper) down onto the rest of the bubbles-these were smaller bubbles so the print is finer. You could print a cazillion pages with the amount of mixture I had-am saving this for another time. I tried using another color over the lavender before it had dried and think it would be ok, just didn't like the color combo, so will go find a diff. color I like. You can get a completely different look by just whipping up the bubbles with a whisk-this will take forever to dry as it's a lot of dense bubbles on the paper, but I like it too. DH came in a tried it-thought it was neat looking. Obviously easy to do if he'd do it!!!! Don't know what it would look like on reg. paper-haven't tried that yet-gotta go play some more though

1. Bubble Paper (the easy way): Get several different little kids' bubbles, you know the ones that come for like .59 cents. Put a different colored dye ink in each one. I use dye ink reinkers. And then just blow on different colors onto paper. This gives striking results on glossy cardstock!!!

2. Pour the bubble juice in a shallow dish. The level of juice should be as close to the top edge of the dish as possible. Use a straw to blow bubbles until the surface of the dish is covered in bubbles. Place cardstock/paper face down on top of dish. Lift away. Voila-bubble paper!
3. Blow bubbles with bubble blower as normal and "catch" the floating bubbles with the paper-wave the paper into the bubble. Try to be waving up, not down, and gravity should make the burst bubble land on your paper (which is below the bubble) If you're a little more forceful than you describe, your results should be better than a little splotch.
4. As for doing more than one color of bubbles--think you need to let the paper dry between colors, but could try it either way--if it looks awful, turn it over and use it for something else!!!!

You can do this also by brayering w/ dye ink onto paper. Then take your kids' bubbles, blow them, and catch them on the paper. As they pop, they make designs in the ink. Plus, you can get exercise by chasing the bubbles around the yard!

Today on HGTV Today at Home show, they showed how to bubble paint. I went to the show for resouces but this show does not print out the resouces of how the project is done.

Well, I'll try to remember all the step: Tempera dry paint added to liquid detergent (I don't remember if water was added) Them they used a straw and blew into the water making lots of bubbles then place the paper on top of the bubbles until they popped, continue doing this til the paper or card stock is filled. You can use one color or several on the same paper. I thought this would make a great background for stamping or scrapping.

Also try putting paint or ink into childrens bubbles and blowing!!!! Much easier.

Just happen to have the instructions
Use a shallow dish or square pan that fits the dimentions of the card you want to use. Fill it with 1/2" water, and stir in several drops of bubble bath or dish soap. Or use undiluted bubble blowing solution made for children. Add a tablespoon or more of colored INK . Stick in one end of a straw and blow air through to make bubbles. Lay a card or envelope on the bubbles to pick up the pattern. You can touch up with watercolors. Not for shiny or glossy paper.
