3D bubbles
I followed the "bubble paint" under techniques (I know I'm 2 years late but this link got me to this LMM site!!) and did some experiments including a more constructed one. I absolutely love the outcome and I'll see how I can have it developed further.

Looks to me like you've nailed this technique. The first one looks very Garyesque. I like what's you've done with the others. Nice job.

Thanks Danielle. I saw some examples with bigger bubbles. I tried to get a big one, but somehow it didn't happen. I think I'll try one with shorter drying time and/or thicker wet paint and see what happens.

It's amazing the differences you can get with different paint and how thickly it goes on or how many layers... the possibilites are endless. I have got small bubbles with gesso and even acrylic inks can make teeny bubbles.

Thanks Lea. Techniques should not be old I know, but somehow working on something mentioned two years ago in this site made me feel kind of silly.

Thanks Elke. I'm really happy with such outcome considering it the first attempt. I think I'll make a bigger one.

Wow, great results Eliza! I just revisited the bubble technique too.It's such a great little trick to have up your artist sleeve and I bet it really gets people wondering.... "How did they do that?" Which is exactly what you want people to be saying.

Thanks Wendy :) I used to draw bubbles, but it's just too rigid, very forced sometimes. With this technique, I just love to see how bubbles are grown, and results are natural and spontaneous. I bet such visual quality simply draws people to touch them!

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
