ten years of instrument-a-day

Today I’m starting the tenth year of instrument-a-day. You can go back through the entire history of i.a.d. here on moonmilk or on flickr.

Instrument-a-day started in 2008 when I was inspired by the now-retired thing a day project and by a whistle-making workshop. Once I got started, it was impossible to stop.

Below: some photos from the early years of instrument-a-day.
