I will review the Brownian loop measure as a limit of random walk loop measures, its relation to Schramm-Loewner evolutions, and discuss some decompositions into boundary bubbles. We give a formulation of the measure on the unit disk in terms of measure-driven Loewner evolutions and something we call “Brownian bubble tea”. This latter work is part of joint work with Frederik Viklund, Yilin Wang, and Catherine Wolfram.
