Nelson designed the first bubble lamp in 1947, incorporating a self-webbing plastic that was developed for military use. It was typical in the postwar era to incorporate these sorts of military materials in domestic products — even familiar materials like plywood had been greatly improved through military necessity. The result for Nelson was a lamp that was safer to produce and more durable than a paper lantern, cheaper and easier to produce than a silk lantern he had been inspired by, and which above all was incredibly versatile and created an warm glow when illuminated. Here's how he described it, and note how self-deprecating he was:
It was important to me to have certain status symbols around, and one of the symbols was a spherical hanging lamp made in Sweden. It had a silk covering that was very difficult to make; they had to cut gores and sew them onto a wire frame. But I wanted one badly.
We had a modest office and I felt that if I had one of those big hanging spheres from Sweden, it would show that I was really with it, a pillar of contemporary design. One day Bonniers, a Swedish import store in New York, announced a sale of these lamps. I rushed down with one of the guys in the office and found one shopworn sample with thumbmarks on it and a price of $125.
It is hard to remember what $125 meant in the late 'forties … I was furious and was stalking angrily down the stairs when suddenly an image popped into my mind which seemed to have nothing to do with anything. It was a picture in The New York Times some weeks before which showed Liberty ships being mothballed by having the decks covered with netting and then being sprayed with a self-webbing plastic … Whammo! We rushed back to the office and made a roughly spherical frame; we called various places until we located the manufacturer of the spiderwebby spray. By the next night we had a plastic-covered lamp, and when you put a light in it, it glowed, and it did not cost $125."

glastonbury 2009 a kid had one of those stick type bubble makers, this one driffted in front of a bloke in a hat.
I never throw away bubble wrap. I have two boxes (big ones!) full of it in my attic. Whenever I get a package in the mail, and it has bubble wrap in it, I get excited. “Free bubble wrap!” The stuff is expensive if you have to buy it. I have things to sell on eBay. I’ll use it someday… I know I will!

Tiny Bubbles in Ice.
I hurriedly finished my basement ride (misnomer, can't really hurry an hour, but the last interval had the most effort) for I had heard there were a few snowflakes falling. I dressed for my sprawl on the front walkway, and sprawled, awaiting some fine formed flakes. They were too sparse and melting upon contact, and with that need to press the shutter, in my prone position, I desperately looked around for anything else small to shoot... tiny bubbles in the small areas of ice under me! Aimed my colored LED flashlight and here we are. I suspect the larger bubble is 2 or 3 mm in size.
We had our two nieces for two nights, and with the nice weather, they wanted to make soap bubbles... Great subject for shooting...:)

Taken with a Canon 7D, Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro, and external flash. I sprayed a clear plastic window from a spray bottle and set various things underneath. The results were awesome
My Aunt Marietta came to visit recently all the way from Florida. It's not very often that we get to see her, and it's not very often either that we get to see bubbles this large!!
go pop! pop! pop! HBW! The weather was crappy so all I did was bubbles with my godson. You can see him in the background.
We went to a birthday party today for Connor's cousin... They had a horse and a pony for the kids to ride and also had a hay ride. Of all the attractions that were there today, a $20 electric bubble maker kept the kids occupied the most...
