Bubblewrap
I’m having a major issue with bubblewrap, can I really use it to depict cyanobacterial mats? I’ve been stuffing the bubbles with shredded blue/green plastic bags and sometimes I feel the scale and effect is just right - and using recycled materials is good - other times I find myself thinking: plastic floating on ponds…. not good.
Come on Karen — Don’t get your bubbles in a twist; if the scale and effect is just right what more could an artist want! The more it floats the better; easier to fishout later, dry and off to be rerecycled. But what if it sinks?
Good luck to you all

Leo! Nice to hear from you, all the same I’m still having ‘bubble trouble’. I like the scale and the colour but I’m not sure if it’s too different (in scale and materials) to the diatoms and filaments I am installing. Final decision time this weekend though.

Love the pictures Kaz! Sorry I cannot get up to see it. Bubblewrap looks fine, in fact fantastic.
