Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Julie (jewellee) Ticer. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Julie (jewellee) thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Are you happier as a creative? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job? Can you talk to us about how you think through these emotions?

I can say that I’ve never experienced THIS type of joy before! Being that my art is fleeting and ‘in the moment’ it always leaves me wanting more! More people to share it with, more beautiful locations to bubble in, more love to give and joy to spread! I had a ‘regular’ job before I started doing bubbles. It was 12 hour days (and sometimes nights) 3-5 days a week with part time jobs in between. When I was shown how to make a giant Bubble at the end of 2018 the world I knew was going to come to an end. I had found something that set me ablaze. In a matter of nine months I left my job (and those horrid hours) and began a Journey of self discovery and inner healing that led me to start Bubble Therapy. Sometimes it’s gets scary when things aren’t lining up as they should. Makes me think I should go back to ‘regular’ work. But a scare with my health almost 2 years ago, I cannot physically do those ‘jobs’ anymore. Nor would I want to. The amount of love, both given and received, and the joy I see in myself and others is the reason I will keep on going with my passion. If the time comes that I must find a ‘regular’ job, then I will find one that I can have a flexible schedule so that I can continue my purpose to spread love and joy though my bubble arts.

Julie (jewellee), before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

It happened by divine intervention. Someone I used to know showed me a giant bubble and I was hooked from that first moment! I was given the gift to be able to heal parts of me and I didn’t even know it yet. The same person that showed me the bubble, hurt me tremendously both mentally and physically, but had given me the tools I would need to heal from them . I was bubbling at the beach on one of my days off, i was approached by someone who asked me if I would like to join their circus production company. I did not even have to think about it. I instantly said yes, and I went to work the next day and put in my seven week notice. This was in September of 2019. During covid, that all stopped (as did almost everything). But I kept bubblin’,. days and nights.. I started to make the wands and perfect my bubble solution obsessively. I noticed that more and more people wanted to take Part in making the bubbles. So I went from one 4 gallon bucket to two 4 gallon buckets and kept adding buckets til I had 6! I would line them all up and encourage young and old to join me in bubblin! It’s such a magical sight. You can feel the difference in the air, you can see the joy on their faces, you can hear the sweet sounds of laughter and giggles. Sometimes it’s a tool for someone who has never felt ‘this way’ to learn how to feel ‘this way’. There was a gentleman once who started to cry, not knowing what is was that he was feeling. And I was able to hold space for him and encouraged him to pick up those sticks and keep bubblin’ as it will change the way you look at your life and how much joy it can bring, I not only make bubbles, but I make a safe space for all to come to and release their inner child. It’s a way for people to be able to stay in the moment. Most of the events that I have done, they found me, out doing my craft and invited me to be apart of their day (or night). And word of mouth, as I’ve been passed around quite a bit. I’ve been apart of 2 weddings, a celebration of life, a group for PTSD veterans, bubble science classes and science fairs, a slew of kid birthdays, a couple adult birthday parties, an array of raves and festivals, a memorial where I was asked if we could place a bit of grandpa’s ashes into the bubble mix. Of course, I said yes. I have even been offered places to stay(while on the road in my van during Covid) and ‘coming over for Sunday dinner’ But my favorite is the holistic and wellness retreats in Tecate, Mexico. Outside looking in, it’s fun and games.. but inside looking out, it’s healing and magical and transformative, Basically, the bubbles are for everyone and just about for everything. I bring the buckets and all gear to bubble with and a speaker (cuz you have to have tunes. Lol) No matter where I bubble , it raises the vibration of the location and the people around! It’s the simple things that can and will bring the most joy! It still amazes me, it still makes me giggle and it still sets my soul on fire! And I will continue with a happy heart and with open arms to hold anyone who needs it!

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

My goal is to spread love and joy to as many people as I can, around the world! It’s my souls mission and Purpose to be able to touch folks with something as simple and magical as a bubble. Showing them a new way to play and heal themselves and others just by being present in the bubble making process. It’s one thing to frolic in the midst of the bubbles, but it’s another thing when you are making them that is hard to put into words! You HAVE to do it, to feel it! It’s absolutely an essential experience!

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative bubble artist is the absolute joy that it brings to me and to others. At the beginning of my Bubble journey, I did not realize that I was providing a service to people. And now that I know what my service provides, I desire to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to see and feel it! When you are of service to others, the rest just falls into place.
