You might remember doing this as a child: blowing soapy suds through a plastic wand with sticky hands and watching them float away on the wind. The jar always used to spill everywhere, too.
This technique is fairly straightforward, but does require some experimentation. You add a few drops of washing-up liquid to your glaze and blow bubbles into the container until they rise to the top. Transfer the bubbles to the area of your work that you want to glaze and repeat the process until you are satisfied with the result.
The soapy bubbles leave an interesting, circular pattern on the surface of your piece. This technique is most effective when used with dark, contrasting colours. If you wish, you can apply a transparent glaze on top.
