The other day in Printmaking class when we were cleaning up at the end of the day one of the ladies sprayed cleaner onto the ink on the glass table and it started to bubble and break up, I yelled "wait, let me get my camera"
trying to explain to the teacher what possibilities I could see were almost impossible.
but isn't it gorgeous......

Janine,
Thanks for visiting my blog. I did get your email address (it was no reply) so I am responding here. I like the photos of the bubbles. I like to take photos like that, too. On our last trip to Arizona, my husband even said, "Do you want me to take a picture of the fungus?" He was referring to the colored fungus on rock which I have lots of pictures of because the colors are so neat. I think an artist "sees" things that non-artists don't: like your bubbles. Your sculptures are fun. Good luck on your reduction cut. It was hard for me to get my brain around that one.
Gorgeous? ... Yes! Definitely. And inspirational. Some of my best ideas come from photos I take of unusual things. I have done paintings from such, but I am yet to do quilts based on them. Is there a quilt coming out of this?
Absolutely lovely ink bubbles - and absolutely normal for an artist to notice it ... woman celaning up must have 'no soul'.
Mind you I did take photos of the cracks in large plate glass windows that had been hit with baseball bats by vandals - 'smashing' patterns ! and I also have some photos from AQC of the leads on the table in my hotel room.

Delicious bubbles! No wonder you wanted to photograph them. Could you have done a monoprint onto paper? (I'm assuming you didn't have a convenient FQ of quilters muslin in your bag... hmm, this might be an idea in the future?) Patterns are everywhere once you start noticing, aren't they?
Printmakers have a very different view of possibilities than quilters do - they don't seem to "see" what we see...
