Voila! You should have a beautiful and delicate frozen bubble. Place this plate very gently in the freezer and check on it in about 30 minutes.
Gently place the bubble down on the plate and once it settles, remove your bubble blower. Then, gently blow a bubble over the plate keeping the bubble connected to your blower. All you need is a plate coated it in the bubble solution. Now, if you don’t want to weather the elements, there is a way to do this without having to go outdoors. Given the right conditions, the bubbles can last up to 20 minutes in their frozen state. All you need is a standard children’s bubble liquid and warm clothing. You can even try it at home if you happen to live in a region where temperatures plunge to at least minus 9 degrees Fahrenheit (-22 degrees Celsius). And amazingly, they are not that hard to make. So what makes frozen soap bubbles so stunning? Well, in the cold of winter, bubbles will freeze faster than they pop - which leads to some incredibly beautiful photo opportunities as the bubbles become frosted in gorgeous patterns. However, if they don’t, we see less color or they even cancel each other out. This means that if the light waves reflected off the inner and outer surfaces are in the same phase, we see color. Why? Because light behaves like a wave and reflects off both the inner and the outer surfaces of the bubble resulting in what is called an interference phenomena. I don’t have an exact recipe, I just add some of each into a container and find it works best if made a day or two in advance. The corn syrup is added to give the bubbles extra stability. SEE ALSO: Snowflakes Are Not as Unique as We Thought I start the process by making my bubble mixture using water, dish soap and corn syrup. While the mixture of soap and water that makes the bubble is pretty much transparent, when this liquid is in the form of a thin film, we get lovely streaks of color.

This causes the surface area to shrink until the air inside of the bubble pushes out strongly enough to stop it from getting any smaller.īubbles also have some very pretty colors. However, one artist to embrace the current freezing temperatures is Michigan-based photographer Hope Carter, whose series of frozen bubble photos capture. Microscopically, the soap molecules that form the bubble are strongly attracted to one another, and want to get as close together as possible. This means bubbles always want to be spheres. Why? Because a sphere gives you the most amount of enclosed air for the least amount of surface area.
The thing about bubbles is that they try to minimize their surface area - that’s why no matter what shape a bubble starts as, it will always revert to a sphere. It was and still is a lot of fun - especially trying to get them as big as possible! But did you know that having fun with bubbles is not just limited to the warmer seasons? When it is cold enough outside, you can create something quite beautiful with your bubbles. I am sure you remember playing outside and blowing bubbles as a kid.
