[Artbeyondsightmuseums] Squid and friends

[Valerie Lewis]

Good morning, Lisa

We have the quick draw paper for demonstration purposes. I am legally blind
and was not overly impressed by the tactile effectiveness of this paper.
There is some tactile-ness to the paper after you use the marker on it, but
not enough to get a really good idea of what you are feeling. 

I hope this helps.
