Thanks for letting me know Stephen. I've always wondered how that is done. What a great concept, I will have to try it. #10965421

Stephen Zacker February 03, 2014

It seems to works best with a glass lasagna type pan with just about 1/4 inch water. I suspended the pan on some boxes about a foot off the ground. Pour in some cooking oil and stir :-) The bubbles pick up all the colors behind it. #10965431

OM GOSH! This is really great and thank you for explaining it, Steve! I have to try this. I have the right pan for it too! Yippe!!! What about lighting? Was it natural or neon or flashlight or???

Really awesome. I'd like to try the water droplets and have you seen dye used in cream yet? WEIRD but very cool!
