May 6

The whole thing started in December 2010 when I was taking pictures in the snow.  I wondered how wonderful it could be when the whole world at the same time could be enjoying and sharing the wonderful magic, beauty and fun of soap bubbles flowing in the air? What kind of feeling is then experienced?

On May 6 2011 the first International Blowing Bubbles Day took place and all over the world there were to seen soup bubbles.

Now on May 6, 2012 the International Blowing Bubbles Day took place again! At many places all over the world and on several grounds there were blown soap bubbles. Magic and fun, grieve and happiness, short term and lasting memories, individual and feeling part of the world community. If a butterfly can influence the world, what could happen when everybody is blowing bubbles at the same time? Join in, be a part of this event and send a description of your activities to us: info@fliplooyen.nl It could be that you are going to blow bubbles in the memory of someone, world peace or maybe for another personal reason. Everyone can join in, on one’s balcony, boat, and garden, in the woods or in the street… Together with others or on your own. Feel welcome, unbound and light.

The opening of the International Blowing Bubbles Day, this year, and the day ending were both held on Rhode Island by PeaceLove Studios. The exhibition of the mail art will be in the Art of the Heart Gallery in Monrovia, Liberia. This is the gallery of the famous artist A. Leslie Lumeh.

It is thrilling to have found enthousiasm for and believings in the project in so much different ways and by so many people. Word spreading and organizing. It is wonderfull to experience that a simple idea is growing to an event that makes bounds and friends. Art as an experience, art in a under going way. Thank you all for that!

One can take a glimpse of it in the presentations on the blog.
