Small tube holder

I have found the small tube holder to be very useful. It has allowed me to connect various sizes of commercial and dyi tubes to my critter. This has also got me thinking of tubes I can create without colour as the critter 2.0 can take care of that . Thanks AOAM!!

Solid connection (plus, you can never have too many AOAM adapters!)

I started recently to do some abstracts with iridescent paper. I liked the leading line in the image with a regular white light, but sometimes it is fun to experiment with color against color. I connected a plexiglass rod (1/2 inch, I think) to the AOAM adapter and applied some orange iridescent adhesive vinyl to the side of it. With green or blue light from the Critter coming through it, it adds a riot of color I love!

Hi Andrea, thank you so much for sharing this.

I love hearing how you’re experimenting with color and materials, that setup sounds fantastic. It’s always inspiring to see the creative ways people use AOAM adapters.
