I love this. We did this as an art project back in the 70's as a young kid. I had no idea what the mixture was and we just set the cup in the middle of the paper and blew until the liquid was gone. Then we used a sharpie to draw a picture. We are headed on an Alaskan cruise in a few weeks and now I am excited to make my own background paper for a scrapbook. Thank you.
