What I’ve been working on in the studio: Experiments

Shortly before the IPCA Arches conference started in Ohio, Helen Briel posted a challenge to the Facebook population to figure out what tool she used for one of her demonstration pieces. There were a couple of guesses that didn’t quite get it, so she gave a few more hints, and I managed to figure out what it was.
