*****************************************************************************

A couple of years ago I saw two different soap bubble exhibits at an ASTC
conference.  
One allowed the user to blow air into the soap bubble so as to deform it ( I
think it used a simple electronic blower to accomplish this..my memory is
fuzzy).  This was a big bubble sheet.
The other exhibit used a real small bubble sheet and it positioned the
viewer right in front of the bullbe in order to use it (you could also
change the look of the bubble flyuid by stressing it out or adding more
fluid.I can't recall exactly).

Does anyone know who made each of these exhibits?  I'm thinking Superior may
have made the big soap bubble sheet that you blow into. 

If anyone recalls these exhibits, I'm looking for their originators.sorry
that my descriptions are so vague.
