Oh this brought back wonderful memories! I am 63 and I remember very vividly doing this in kindergarten and it began my life long love of creating art!!! She used a small pan and a delicious sheet of large white paper under the pan. Then we blew through the straw. Our teacher proudly displayed our creations and I knew then art and I would be life long friends! I cannot thank you enough for this memory and I will certainly do this now!
Loved the papers with this process. But you really need to warn people on this one to protect everything around where you are working because little tiny flecks of paint go everywhere onto everything!
Oh my goodness, my inner kindergartener is loving this! ❤ I can't wait to start blowing bubbles. I recently acquired some fabulous antique fabric dyes that also work on paper. I am creating several journals for the New Year, so I will incorporate these techniques on my pages. Thank you so much!
What is even more amazing catherine is how your joy at doing this inspires me to find my joy at doing things id like to do but have somehow judged as selfish or juvenile etc. Youre sence of exploration, curiosity and delight in your craft and beingness awakens in me a lot of possibility and permission. I see that there is noone stopping me but ne. Thank you x
How absolutely beautiful! Yes, you need to give yourself permission to make time for your creativity. Its one of the most profound sources of self care. Thank you for the very kind words. Now read them again, and imagine that you are saying them to yourself! YOU are all of these things too. BTW - you might be enjoy taking my free 5-day online class. You can sign up from the link underneath this video. Blessings, Cat
I bow to your technique, your knowledge and your generosity. No one shares secrets with others. There are no small secrets. There are small people and you are very big.Good morning from Greece
What a loving thing to say Julie, THANK YOU. Yes water colors will work, although I haven't tried it yet. But seen others do it, and it was equally as beautiful.
Thank you! I used to do this with preschoolers and I’m so excited to be reminded… I am the bubble queen. I literally blow bubbles every day, I blew bubbles from Mountain top so hiking, walking down city Street, and as part of my daily Meditations. I even wear a little miniature bubble blower around my neck. So this is perfect and I can’t wait to try !!!!
This was very intriguing..I absolutely loved the element of surprize resulting from the array of organic shapes created with the bubble effect. Awesome!💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖
It is tricky at first as I too had some duds. But with just a little practice, mine came out consistently as you see in the video. Hopefully this video will shorten your learning process!
Wow....I'm blown away....how very exciting...I adore doing backgrounds for my art...I cannot wait to try this out....thank you so much....Jane North Wales UK 😀
WOW! That is super creative. This expands my options. I layer collage using very thin acid free tissue paper so some of the techniques probably won't work. But I'll try them anyway. Thank you so much for this information. Very cool!
I tried this the other day using a deep cookie sheet. I love your idea of using a cup, instead. And, I love the idea of transferring them with a spatula. Thanks!
Thanks for the reminder of these techniques. I worked with a teacher in an elementary school who showed her students ways to make papers that they then made into a book. The bubble techniques were some of their favorites! Happy I discovered your channel.
Catching up on your videos here - now I know how I'm going to start my SAT creativity ritual: watch Cat! I loved seeing the multiple bubble techniques and am excited to bring these into my ever growing/expanding tricks to wow the EYE from my fav collage teacher - with humble thanks and deep appreciation, Sister Cat!!🙏☮🕉💜
I just discovered your very informative channel yesterday...and I've been binge watching all the different collage paper making videos. I have been a painter for over 30 years, so seeing these new to me techniques is such FUN! You are a wonderful mix of artist/mad scientist!! Thank you, thank you.
Oh I adore you, and am deeply honored that you binge watched my videos. The highest compliment you can share! My new title is "mad art scientist" thanks to you!
So much fun, Cat! 🎉 Thank you! I especially LOVED watching the reflections of the ring light multiply and grow as you blew into the cups! My inner child was practically giddy once “we” noticed that. 😂❤🎉
Those supplies would work great. I loved using 140lb water color paper. Didn't try water color, but I understand this would work equally well. Just be sure add a lot of color. You'll have to experiment to figure out how much to make this work.
I love this. We did this as an art project back in the 70's as a young kid. I had no idea what the mixture was and we just set the cup in the middle of the paper and blew until the liquid was gone. Then we used a sharpie to draw a picture. We are headed on an Alaskan cruise in a few weeks and now I am excited to make my own background paper for a scrapbook. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been trying to do this technique with very poor results! This completely explains where I’m going wrong, and you’ve given me more tools to do different styles of bubbles!! Thank you thank you!!💖💖
I'm thrilled that this video helped you. It took me quite a while to figure out what it wasn't working for me too! Hope you'll make gorgeous papers as a result!
Hmmm, I don't know for sure. This is often used on ceramics, so I'm thinking it would work for fabric too. Only way to know, is to give it a go! Let me know what happens!
Thank you so much Catherine, I really really enjoyed watching you create these awesome and beautiful paper’s with bubbles. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
I Love this, I much prefer to decorate my own papers instead of using scrapbook paper. the rice paper took on a Batik affect! with the 3 straw method, I could see a ink drawing of flowers over each bubble
Thank you for your very clear instructions and demonstrations - super helpful. Do you find that you can write on top of them once dry? Will ink or ballpoint work, say, for a journal page? Thanks!
This is Jane Monteith's tea bag paper, which you can get on her website, or on AMAZON, although its often sold out. You can also try teabags yourself, which I used for year before finding Jane's product.
Wow! Just when I thought I'd seen a video about everything you can do with paper, something new bubbles up! So beautiful, so easy, and looks like so much fun. Can hardly wait to try it. Thanks for a wonderful video...

Oh my goodness, what a loving thing to say. I'm so touched that you want to watch all my videos, and make art from them all too! You made my day!
I used to do this with preschoolers for art. Not sure why I never thought about using it in my own art. I will now.
It's so much fun! I love it!
Me too! My daughter reminded me the other day that I used to paint with bubbles. I’m so excited to be reminded!!
Who says we have to grow old? So much fun. Can't wait to do this. Thanks for sharing.
This is the most fun paper to create, and is gorgeous when used in collages. Enjoy making these!
I can’t wait to try this! Thank you Catherine!
Hope you enjoy making these!
Thanks, Catherine! There's a kid I babysit who LOVES watercolor, and I've been searching high and low for new and interesting techniques.
Hope that you aren the kid your babysit love doing this together!
Loved the papers with this process. But you really need to warn people on this one to protect everything around where you are working because little tiny flecks of paint go everywhere onto everything!
I can't remember that happening with this technique, but maybe its been a while since I did this!
Use blowing bubbles instead of dish soap and your bubbles are more defined.
Interesting way of doing this! Thanks for sharing. Will have to try it.
Interesting! 🎉
Very cool. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks so much for watching!
Oh my goodness, my inner kindergartener is loving this! ❤ I can't wait to start blowing bubbles. I recently acquired some fabulous antique fabric dyes that also work on paper. I am creating several journals for the New Year, so I will incorporate these techniques on my pages. Thank you so much!
My inner kindergartener jumps for joy when doing this as well! Enjoy my friend.
That was fabulous!! Can't wait to do this with my granddaughters, 6 and 3 years old. Bubbles are cool and what fun papers! Thank you.
Have fun! They're going to love it!
Thank you for sharing this technique! Gorgeous papers! You have a lovely voice and a cute giggle! :)
Awww shucks! Thanks for the kind words about both my giggle and the technique!
I’m kind of obsessed with watching the reflection of your light in the bubbles 😅
I noticed that too! 😂 Mesmerizing
What is even more amazing catherine is how your joy at doing this inspires me to find my joy at doing things id like to do but have somehow judged as selfish or juvenile etc. Youre sence of exploration, curiosity and delight in your craft and beingness awakens in me a lot of possibility and permission.

WOW!!!!! Utterly beautiful, thank you so much. I have been looking for some original ideas for backgrounds xx
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed this!
@@catrains.artist I tried...and I failed 😞 Does the mixture have to be fairly thick/dense? with paint?
How fun! They're all beautiful. My favorite is the spatula technique. Time to raid the kitchen drawer 😊
Hope you have a blast! Thanks for watching!
Oh my gosh I am smiling from ear-to-ear. This is got to be the best demo ever. Tube water colours would probably work too😊❤️👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a loving thing to say Julie, THANK YOU. Yes water colors will work, although I haven't tried it yet. But seen others do it, and it was equally as beautiful.
Thank you from Margarita Island .Venezuela

Great tip!

Wow! Your papers are so beautiful! Love this technique. Thank you for sharing.
So glad that you loved the technique. Hope that you enjoy making your own!
So much fun, Cat! 🎉 Thank you! I especially LOVED watching the reflections of the ring light multiply and grow as you blew into the cups! My inner child was practically giddy once “we” noticed that. 😂❤🎉
Too fun, now I need to watch again to see the reflections! I love how you appreciate your inner child.
❤❤❤
love this so simple and cheap lovely
So glad that this technique resonates with you!
So so cool. I can not wait to try this. I use watercolor. And 140lb and 300lb paper
Those supplies would work great. I loved using 140lb water color paper. Didn't try water color, but I understand this would work equally well. Just be sure add a lot of color. You'll have to experiment to figure out how much to make this work.
Hermoso...
💞
Oh how fun! And beautiful
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have you ever done this directly onto a canvas? I wonder if it would work. Might just have to try it!
I have not used it on canvas, but heard of others that have and it works.
Thank you so much for so much inspirations ... I love this bubble technics. ❤❤❤
So glad that this technique appeals to you. So much fun to create!
Beautiful and amazing. I would love to try it.❤
Oh I hope you do, it is sooooo much fun!
Thanks for your demo. It looks like fun and a great change from my more traditional art form
Is it possible to integrate this technique into your "traditional" art form? What do you usually create?
I love this. We did this as an art project back in the 70's as a young kid. I had no idea what the mixture was and we just set the cup in the middle of the paper and blew until the liquid was gone. Then we used a sharpie to draw a picture. We are headed on an Alaskan cruise in a few weeks and now I am excited to make my own background paper for a scrapbook. Thank you.
Oh how fabulous. Happy and safe travels!
I just love this method! Totally want to play with these ideas, thank you! 😊
So glad! Thank you for watching!

Oh I hope you do! Enjoy the experimental process.
Lovely tecnique. Tnank you for share it!
I' d like to known if we can do it on t-shirts?
Hmmm, I don't know for sure. This is often used on ceramics, so I'm thinking it would work for fabric too. Only way to know, is to give it a go! Let me know what happens!
Thank you so much Catherine for these tips. I have just started mixed media art and am so excited to try this.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy!
Thanks so much for sharing your process. 💞☺️
Thanks for watching! 😊💕
Thank you for your very clear instructions and demonstrations - super helpful. Do you find that you can write on top of them once dry? Will ink or ballpoint work, say, for a journal page? Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed the demo! Yes you can usually write on these papers once dry!
This looks so fun! And you get beautiful results. I can’t wait to try. Thanks.
It is so much fun, and hope that you enjoy it as much as I did!
Thank you very much for these techniques Catherine - very interesting and fun!
Thank you SO much for watching! 😊

That is great feedback, thank you so much for watching!
Goodness I want to make these!
I strongly encourage you to do so! It's so much fun!
wow! Thank you so much for these ideas
Thank you so much for watching!
Love the teabag paper one! But can’t find teabag paper. Any ideas?
This is Jane Monteith's tea bag paper, which you can get on her website, or on AMAZON, although its often sold out. You can also try teabags yourself, which I used for year before finding Jane's product.
Thank you so much for great inspiration! Fantastic video❤
I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know.
Beautiful - I love this❤️❤️
So glad you liked the demo!
Wow! Just when I thought I'd seen a video about everything you can do with paper, something new bubbles up! So beautiful, so easy, and looks like so much fun. Can hardly wait to try it. Thanks for a wonderful video...
So that this added to your mixed media tool box. I love this technique and hope you will too!
