Just added a new album with a few that I shot for MPV last summer. Star Nine gets a long blue dress muddy as mud bubbles explode underneath her. BLOOP! Love to hear your thoughts on the bubble thing.
The phrase "mud bubbles" is not very sexy sounding however I am a fan of them. It seems like being in mud and having bubbles coming up under you would feel really nice
Yeah, long dresses and bubbles really go well together, that is a great video! As to the jacuzzi, I created such a thing some time ago and it is for sale if anyone is interested. A half horsepower spa pump will reliably pump mud at a medium viscosity. The more vertical rise there is any the system, the bigger a pump you will need. I do not recommend any of the smaller and cheaper sump pumps, I tried several and they either wouldn't pump the mud or burned out in just a few minutes.
My pump is mounted in conjunction with a 5 gallon plastic bucket. 1" PVC pipe at the bottom pulls the mud into the suction side of the pump and it is then pumped back into the bucket through a pipe closer to the top. The upper pipe has a 90 degree bend to point the flowing mud back down into the bucket. There is a screw thread fitting below it to allow it to be closed off in alternating conjunction with a screw thread tee pointing upward just before the bend so that mud can instead be directed into flexible hose though the upper fitting.
I created this monstrosity as an experiment in creating a device that would mix powdered mud for me automatically. It did not work out all that well as it is hard to keep the powdered clay from getting into the intake and messing the suction up. On the other hand, once the clay is mixed, it did a good job of allowing me to have a liquid mud stream that bubbled up out of the 1 ton mud bath structure I had at the time and can be seen in one of those ancient Messy Fun video filmed in that mudbath. And, I'm not saying I have any personal knowledge of such a thing, but, it is alleged that sitting on the bucket with the mud circulating and directed upwards is its own special kind of fun!
If you want to mess with mud jacuzzi type stuff, just remember that if you want to pump thick mud, you will have to spend a lot more money as you will need a small concrete pump to be able to handle heavier and more viscous clay.
Love you, too
