Bubbles or cells

I wanted to find another way to make patterns similar to those in the photomicrograph but I didn't want the pattern to be geometric like the triangle doodles. Then I saw a photograph that Amy Pieterse took of some bubbles, Figure 1, and it resembled cells so I decided to play with some bubbles. I filled a plastic container with water and dishwashing liquid I added in some red ink, because that's all I had, so the lines between the bubbles are more defined as seen in Figure 2. I used a straw to blow air into the mixture to generate bubbles. I tried to put the bubbles onto paper but it just soaked into the paper and made a mess. The bubbles on the plastic spoon were very interesting as the bubble was basically invisible leaving only the lines where the bubbles touch on another. I wanted the lines to be a bit stronger so I added some black drawing ink, Figure 4, so the contrast between the bubbles and spoon will make it easier to see the "cells".
