[Artbeyondsightmuseums] Tactile globe - thinking out loud

[Lisa Yayla]

I haven't tried out the acrylic painting mediums or gels yet.
They sound like they would work really well.

Saw that you have a really nice website - www.univdesign.com

Lisa

Just came across this email. Wondering how you fared with this project.

Have been working with puff paints for tactile paintings of museum quality
paintings, very successfully.
Curious.
