Bubble
Wands... Hmmm... Where to begin. Well I guess the best
place to start is at the beginning. When the Bubble
Fairy was still in her infancy, there was the issue
of working at the Renaissance Faire, and making the
bubble tools time appropriate. Or simply put, how to
make a bubble wand without plastic.
The
first bubble tools I made were from willow branches.
Easy enough to find, worked really well when green,
however, I found that as they dried out, they became
very brittle and would break easily. So, back to the
drawing board.
I was in the craft store one day just looking around
trying to get ideas for several projects at once,I'm
sure you know how Tinker Fairies can be!! Anyway...
and there it was, the medium I would use for my "Famous"
bubble wands. Rattan, readily available,
non polluting, sustainable, earth friendly, plus not
to mention it works much better than plastic, or worse
yet, metal.
Have
you ever bought one of those real fancy bubble wands
at a fair or festival only to get it home and it only
makes mediochor bubbles at best?
My
Bubble Fairy Bubble Wands work better than any wands
I have ever used. These wands are the exact same wands
I use when performing, so you know they are reliable.
With very basic care these wands will last for years.
Some of the wands I use every day, are wands I have
had since the beginning in 2004.
