Frozen

For those not in the upper midwest - this is how crazy, stir crazy people make it through the coldest 2 1/2 weeks in years. Lots of practice, frozen hands and toes. Get up the next day and start again. Seems that -10 to 5 degrees is the sweet spot for freezing bubbles.

Thank you Frank! Yes I made the bubble solution. Water/clear dish soap/light corn syrup and a pinch or two of sugar.

It has been lots of fun and very addicting. The quest for the perfect image is denied over and over and over again.

I like that... did not know you could do that. I'll have to try it.
It is a lot of fun and much harder than one would think.

Cold is what makes it work. And yes even for a seasoned northern, it is cold.

I am not exactly sure of the scientific reason. It has to do with making the designs. The colder the base of the bubble the type of design. Sugar enhances. I have done with and without. The temp is the main driver of design and clarity.

Amazing.
Why add the sugar if you're using corn syrup? Asking for a friend.

I'm glad to see other people trying this out. I posted a few of mine the other day. It was a first attempt....frustrating yet fun! It may be too warm today...we're up to 33 degrees. I used the same bubble recipe you did but without the sugar. Very fun thing to try out on those freezing cold days! Nice images! Your patience paid off1
