Episode 4: Rambley McRamblepants

In this week’s episode I discuss my work’s in progress, finished objects, and spinning. Explorations is me telling you a little about my experience using dpns for the first time. I apologize as this episode is not very well articulated, I am a little bit out of sorts for some reason. I’m trying to get it together, podcasting is a lot harder than making my other videos. I’m not sure why.
