"Painted a few canvases, but the layer of paint on one bigger canvas cracked upon drying. Why?? Obviously no more bubbles as no air could be trapped. I painted over them with new paint before leaving studio tonite. I'll…"

Eliza Cheng replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"Thanks Gary for showing the techniques! I've learned so much and it's a bunch of fun! I just painted a new canvas to play tomorrow, also blogged about it as well coz it's so exciting. I'll see what happens…"
Eliza Cheng replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"Thanks Jacqui. I really love your work and I think this bubble technique will go well with your style of work too. Just try and see some wonders appear on your picture planes!"
Eliza Cheng replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"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…"
"Hello Eliza, thanks so much for your kind comment !! I just checked out your bubble technique pics and wow, they are amazing !! wonderful :) I'll have to give this a go sometime ! I'm busy saving my eggshells also !! :) best wishes, Jacqui"
Wendy Johnson replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"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…"
Danielle Evans replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"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. "
Eliza Cheng replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"Thanks Elke. I'm really happy with such outcome considering it the first attempt. I think I'll make a bigger one."
Eliza Cheng replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D 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. "
Eliza Cheng replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"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."
Elke Trittel replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"great first attempt and i also like the green one best!Keep experimenting and enjoy it!"
Danielle Evans replied to Eliza Cheng's discussion 3D bubbles"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. "

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).
