I mixed water, dish soap and cooking oil in a plastic lid; blew bubbles in the mixture using an angled drinking straw; and took closeups of the bubbles using a 100mm f2.8 macro lens.

(5,835 posts)It was fun but a tad tedious. The bubbles deflated pretty quickly. I used to make monster bubbles--using a wand with a big fabric loop--for my kids when they were in grade school. I'd add glycerin to the water and soap blend to make the bubbles stronger. I could have used some last night!

I found a good tutorial on making frozen bubbles.. I live in Florida so this would not work for me..

(5,835 posts)Thanks for the link! I'm using the same formula sans the corn syrup, which I don't have on hand. When the daytime temps get into the teens here in PA, I'll do the experiment outdoors. Here are my freezer bubbles:

It looks like The Brain from the cartoon "Pinky and The Brain"--or a little ale-e-inn.

I love pareidolia!
Thanks for the chuckle, NJCher!

Wonderful shapes and colors!
Amazing!

(5,835 posts)Guess what? I actually froze a bubble! After 15 minutes in the freezer it was frosty but without the snowflake-like crystals. I'm giving it another shot now with a longer freeze time. Ultimately, it might require changing the formula.
