[Leica] Frozen Bubbles

[CartersXRd]

GORGEOUS!

My wife Kitty (retired teacher and bubble enthusiast) says you might try adding some glycerine to the bubble solution, tends to make them a bit tougher and longer lasting. Like maybe a tablespoon in one of the small (4oz) bottles is where she starts.
