Your voice is just perfect for listening! Say "bubbles" again, lol!! (There are some u-tubers I don't even watch due to their voice). Thanks for another useful idea! You're the best.
I did bubble paper too. But I learned that you blow the bubbles and sit paper on water and the bubbles attach to the paper. The bubble shape just somehow shows up.very cool.
I just did a bunch of tea dying and dried them outside. My friend weed wacked and sprayed grass clippings all over them and it was a beautiful effect when dried! Happy accident!! I definitely will try the paint and bubbles next time!
ALL my painting supplies are from ARTEZA, beautiful quality and variaty of paints. All my paintings turn out beautiful. I will definetly use them on paper now too, thank you💐💐💐
The PVA is a much cheaper alternative to glycerin in order to hold the bubbles for that gorgeous effect. This is a great technique that looks like so much fun to do. I like messy. ☺️ It is also a great way to salvage paper that didn't quite turn out the way they should have. The end product is beautiful. By the way, your work is just exquisite. I just subscribed to your channel and I am exceedingly impressed with your tutorials and all the outcomes. Thank you! 😍
@@joiedefi thank you Joie! I'm having a lot of fun doing your soft master boards with the crayons and wax today. The video did not do that technique justice. It is gorgeous! 🥰 It's only noon here (I'm in San Francisco, CA) and I've already made four that are almost completely dry and ready to use. Also, thanks for the tip about wood glue and regular glue mixture. I'm noticing that there isn't much warpage on the paper. Have a beautiful weekend. 😊❤️
that's amazing. I do love dyeing paper & fabric. I remember artymase do bubble water with ink. I happened to mention it to my sister in law she had the grandbabbies the next day so she had a go with them with food colouring they loved it ^ the papers were fabulous.
Excellent! Thanks for doing the "mad scientist" experiments and sharing what works! The video is so informative and moves along a a perfect pace. I appreciate the written instructions and permission to screen shot.
How wonderfully creative! While I do like tea dying, the colors, contrasts, and textures on these papers are just scrumptious. And, again you come to the rescue. I'm now in the midst of doing a dragon themed journal and need some truly antiquated looking papers. So, off I go to my craft room.😁
Sounds like you found a wonderful doable technique for getting that vintage look on papers. Also, I really like the journal cards you showed us. They are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Oooh thanks Joan. I wasn't sure about sharing the cards, but I enjoyed making them so much I thought I would! Really appreciate your lovely feedback! 👍🥰🌿
I did the bubble paper Barbara showed us. It was fun. My 6 year old great grandson saw me and wanted to blow the bubble. We had a good time. They turned out so cool. Love your ideas. 🤗🤗👍💙
I dyed a few sheets of paper today and wasn't happy with the results. I decided to set it aside for another day and work on a topper for a journal. Looked up junk journal cover ideas and this video was the second one listed. I'm back to doing the papers now. Thank you for sharing this idea. I love it. 💜💜
Hooray!!! I'm delighted. I'm about to do another batch myself. I saved the surplus painty liquid. Going to refresh with more bubbles and have a go at round 2. Have fun Texas, and thanks for popping by to watch!!🥰👍
my granddaughter and I did bubble paper in a dish....blowing the bubbles with a straw...this looks great...I'll add the PVA...she loves the mixing too. Thanks.
This is so cool! I LOVE making a mess and I can just imagine how much fun I can have with this! I made Barbara's bubble papers, several batches, and was bummed when the bubbles didn't stay around for longer. I did scoop up some bubbles on a spoor and carry them to the paper but then the more I struggled to get them off the spoon, the more they popped. It never occurred to me to use PVA glue to make them stay (I had to smile cuz my dad was a chemical engineer - HE would have figured it out!). Just like you, I love drying my papers on big fluffy towels because of the hills and valleys and the resulting puddles of color on the paper, and I like laying the papers on each other too, for the lighter/darker effect and the crisp lines between the two shades of brown (or whatever color). If I didn't have my jammies on I'd gather my supplies and have a go but since I am ready for sleep I'll set my sights on tomorrow. Can you imagine how fast the paper will dry in the California desert heat? I like to dye papers in the summertime to last me well into the winter and I still have room in my paper box, so perhaps the pile that results from this adventure will top it off. This is gonna be fun! Thanks my Joie! Love and bubbles, Ems ❤🧼🤗🏜🤗🧼❤
I found Barbara's bubble papers worked really well; I made sure to *skim the underside of the paper over the top of the bubbles,* no "pressing" at all, this seemed to keep the bubbles on there longer. And blowing some more bubbles through the straw to reinvigorate the bubble effect. I used acrylics and also some food dye in a matching colour (was going for one shade of blue at the time, rather than mixing the colours to reproduce a coffee dyed effect). Got some great "prints". With the remnants in the tray, I scrunched up some lace, dabbed it into the colour mix, and "blotched" it onto more clean paper, like a random "block printing" effect. Also used some old cloth, all scrunched up, like a block print as well. Used some cut off of an old sponge for the very last dregs. All of them worked to create randomized patterns. Wondering if some gelatin mixed into the solution would keep the bubbles going longer too? but otherwise, very gentle slow skim over the top of the bubbles worked. Will try again using PVA glue, because it was so much fun.
@@judynilsen7041 I used a large bowl, so there was plenty of surface area. Water, quite a bit of dishwashing detergent, mixed in acrylic color; decided to add some food dye to make it more intense (for my purposes); all mixed well, and used a silicon straw to blow big bubbles. At first I lowered the paper onto and a little into, the bubbles and water mix, but that didn't work well. Doing that, I was popping the bubbles before they could form any pattern. So I gently skimmed the underside of the paper onto the bubbles and put the paper down, bubble side up, straight away. That seemed to work much better. Because there were still bubbles on the paper when they popped, the pattern came out. Kind of slide the paper across the bubbles only, not lowering the paper into the water at all. Be quick to turn the paper bubble side up and set it down...The first few I did didn't work very well either. Big bubbles needed, so put the straw just under the surface every now and then; occasionally I'd put the straw deeper into the mix to get the color up top again. Trial and error.
@@judynilsen7041 I'll try... start with a dark DARK coffee mixture and add a couple healthy squeezes of dish soap. Get your papers next to the bowl of the solution, get a straw, and blow into it like when you were a kid blowing bubbles in the milk. Keep blowing to the point of nearly overflowing then quickly grab a sheet of paper and lay it gently on top of the bubbles. When you lift the paper - it happens right away, no need to wait - you'll see the bubble circles you're after. If you want more just put the paper down again and keep on that way until you are happy with the results. If you need more bubbles just grab your straw and blow again to make more. When that sheet is done lay it on a surface to dry and carry on. Lemme know if that helps! It's a fun technique with cool results! Good luck! MK
i have done this technique using coffee - dish soap & glue - i never would have thought of using paints - what a great idea - one other technique i did was sprinkle rice over my papers and then spray them with coffee - the coffee puddles around the rice so after it dries and you wipe off the rice you are left with a wonderful pattern - thank you Joie - this was fun to watch and i love the ephemera you showed at the end - very pretty and inspiring - be well xx
@@joiedefi it works almost the same way as when we sprinkle our papers with Kosher Salt or Large Flaked Salt - but i need to try this with the paints - thanks Joie and be well xx 🤗🤗
This is a great method! I Will try it for sure and maybe add different things on it like tiny splash if ink or various things like rice, candy toping for cakes or plants or whatever comes to my mind. Thanks for the very useful tutorial. I love them all anyway. I learn a lot from you 😊😊
I absolutely love this video. I'm a hands on kinda gal and this was super fun. I believe I will be doing this tomorrow on my day off. Let the inner child come out to play.
I’m so excited to try this!! 🥳 I love the paper dying idea AND ur projects u used it with. I’ll let u know how my experiment goes. Thank for sharing ❣️
Wow what a clever idea. I love your outcome with all the tiny little bubbles. I think the turquoise are teal would be absolutely gorgeous splattered on that. I would love to try it but I really don't have a place big enough. But I'm going to put my thinking cap on and try to figure out a way. I love the journal cards that you made with it they are beautiful
Cheap instant coffee would be cheaper if you are on a tighter budget. Also, as kids, our mother would put some dish soap into a bowls of water and gave us each a straw so we could blow bubbles, for fun. We had fun blowing bubbles overflowing. So I would suggest using a long straw to get more bubbles & large ones too, with practice
Your idea to add pva glue is promising. I tried the process 49dragonflies demonstrated. My bubbles didn't show up as well as hers did, so I am eager to try your adaptation. Thanks!
I did a dozen pages after I watched Barbara's video. I found scooping up bubbles with a large spoon or my hands worked best for me. I used instant coffee. I still love coffee dyed papers the best. I did a few with blue dye too. But I think adding glue is great idea, so bubbles with last longer. I like using coffee cuz papers dont stick together. But I want to try paint and get some more colors. I'm fine with messy projects. I will try this with glue next time. I will need more coffee dyed papers soon. I'm excited to try this with glue. Some of my bubbles popped too soon and I only got light circles. So this is great. Thanks for another fantastic video. Austin,TX USA
Hi This is awesome!! I tried it this weekend. Not exactly like you did but brown, yellow paint and red sparkle glue and shampoo. Love the bubble idea. It came out so cool with the bubbles and sparkles... thank you for this super duper fantastic Idea. So much more creative then just using tea bags and coffee. I put them on bin lids and let them dry over night. I am so excited!! I can't wait to experiment with other colors. Thank you!! 🖌💕🤗🌻
Hi Joie! This us such a fun project! I am very interested in trying the glue to increase the bubble elasticity. You always think way outside the box! ❤
I am barely into the video and have already done a thumbs up. I watched Barbara’s video and was impressed. I’ll try it eventually. I’m in the middle of making a travellers notebook for the first time. I’ll finish it next week after we return from our family reunion.
Thank you Joie! This was interesting and looks like a lot of fun! Perfect play to do out in the garden and trusting the sun do the drying for you. If I had kids I would let them to play with this! Happy crafting and ♥
What fun, Joie! Love a little messy play and fabulous results to boot! Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique! Love and hugs to you, dear Joie! ❤️
Thanks Gayle, I enjoyed watching your video this week stamping on all those bits of book page. Curiously relaxing...( and a lot less messy 🤣🤣). Hugs, Joie 💜🤓👍
What a lovely teacher you are! I don't know why but I have never thought about dunking scraps. I do know that you can add more purposeful splats using white paint and the eraser end of a pencil (unused, of course). If you have one you can also use the eraser end of a tombow pencil eraser. It takes much less time than messing with a spray that doesn't work. I also save what is left of my coffee/tea mix in a gallon jug in the fridge.. I bet you could do the same with this mix.
Hi. I am thinking of this method for a long time considering the coffee dye is an odd process. I also though about fabric dye. And water colour tablets. So glad you made this video. when I dry paper, I dry it on other paper, not cardboard or other. Jackie
I love it! The pva is a brilliant way of keeping the bubbles, and fairy liquid is a good bubbler too, I used to do it with my children when they were little. If you want bigger bubbles or more froth, just take a straw and blow air (not suck! Many a child of mine has spat out a mouthful of painty water!) into the water. Blue paint makes a nice sea themed backing paper too. I love these blog style videos. I wonder if alcohol inks would work on fabric? 💛💛💛🐝. xx

Thanks Gayle, I enjoyed watching your video this week stamping on all those bits of book page. Curiously relaxing...( and a lot less messy 🤣🤣). Hugs, Joie 💜🤓👍
Love this technique! TYFS 💐
You're very welcome!!🤗
I mix clear glue into my homemade mica spray. Love that bubble effect! Definitely going to try your ideas!
That's awesome!!👍💜
The glue does make a difference!
Definitely!👍💜
Very good video. Thank you Joei 😊 💓
Thanks so much Sonja! You're very welcome!🥰👍
Have you tried pages from a flower or bug book. They come out superbly. I used illustrated pages rather than photos.
Sounds interesting!🤓💜👍
Great idea and it looks such fun. Definitely going to have a go and have a play. Thanks so much for sharing. Xxx
Hooray!!! Maybe wear gloves or use a stick to stir LOL 🤣🤣👍💜🤓
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. ❤
You're very welcome 🤗
They're lovely Joie. I also get some really nice dyed papers by using my dirty paintbrush water lol 😄💚
Aaah what a great method!!🤗👍💜
Love your hints and ideas! Nice papers☮️💟
Thanks so much!🤓👍💜
What a lovely teacher you are! I don't know why but I have never thought about dunking scraps. I do know that you can add more purposeful splats using white paint and the eraser end of a pencil (unused, of course). If you have one you can also use the eraser end of a tombow pencil eraser. It takes much less time than messing with a spray that doesn't work. I also save what is left of my coffee/tea mix in a gallon jug in the fridge.. I bet you could do the same with this mix.
I did save what was left, LOL 🤭🤭👍💜
Hi. I am thinking of this method for a long time considering the coffee dye is an odd process. I also though about fabric dye. And water colour tablets. So glad you made this video. when I dry paper, I dry it on other paper, not cardboard or other. Jackie
That's such a great tip!🤓👍💜
Loved this idea. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you.
That's great Janie!!👍🤓💜
This is too much fun Joie! And the results are so cool! You were definitely having fun, weren't you!
I was 🤭🤭🤭👍🤓💜
This looks like a lot of messy fun lol! Love splatting paint on paper. Love the journaling cards 💚☺️
Awesome!!💜🤓👍
Love this style! I’ll definitely try to do this. Thanks for the great inspiration.
You're very welcome!👍💜
What an amazing result!!! I will have to try this!! I love it!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hooray!!🤗💜
Joie! Thanks so much for this vid. What a great idea! I'm going t try it today.
Fantastic!!🤓💜👍
I love it! The pva is a brilliant way of keeping the bubbles, and fairy liquid is a good bubbler too, I used to do it with my children when they were little. If you want bigger bubbles or more froth, just take a straw and blow air (not suck! Many a child of mine has spat out a mouthful of painty water!) into the water. Blue paint makes a nice sea themed backing paper too. I love these blog style videos. I wonder if alcohol inks would work on fabric? 💛💛💛🐝. xx
They may, I don't have any, love the idea of blue paint 👍💜
Did you have any problems with the papers sticking to the cardboard sheet or to each other? Thanks so much! Awesome as always! 😍
I didn't, probably because the PVA glue is so weak. Even the papers pulled apart. Great question. Sounds like you might have a go at this?👍🤓🥰💜
I love this! Thanks for the detailed tutorial. The PVA tip is brilliant. I can’t wait to do this. 🤗🇨🇦🤗
Awesome!
Love this video, thanks.
You're very welcome
