Oregon Coast Waves Vol 1.3

Skye then went into
business for himself,
selling his bubble-related
tools. He even went so
far as to learn computeraided
design from online
videos, bought a 3D
printer and developed a
fog machine to create a
smoke effect to pair with
his gigantic bubbles.
He says that for the
last six or seven years,
he’s mainly kept busy
designing and building
his mini fog machine for
use by bubble experts.
At the heart of it all, Skye
most enjoys taking the
occasional job putting
on bubble-making
performances at fairs,
festivals, private parties
and other events. He says
he loves making bubbles
on Newport’s Nye Beach
and at the Yachats Ocean
Road State Natural Site
when conditions are
right.
“I think what I like most
about making giant
bubbles is that it inevitably
makes someone’s day,” he
said. “It’s just really nice
to bring some joy and
a bit of wonderment to
complete strangers during
the times we’re living in
right now. That’s what it’s
all about.”
