Happy Clouds


Artist Stuart Semple set some "Happy Clouds" afloat over London this weekend in collaboration with the Tate Modern museum. Made out of some kind of soap mixed with helium, these pink-y happy faces can be seen floating around in video on Stuart's site, and please stick around to check out his other artworks. You can also catch an interview of him on Telegraph.


Stuart says, "I've had enough of the doom and gloom in the air and I wanted to show something completely positive floating up to the sky. This was the most straight forward way I could think of to literally contribute something happy to the atmosphere. I'm hoping it might put a smile on a few people's faces as they go through their day." Mr. Semple, I believe you have!

And for anyone who's thinking they'd like to get some fluffy soap bubble shapes flying around their neck of the woods, see how they do it at Flogos. (Thanks to buzzfeed reader Meghan for the link).
