[Artbeyondsightmuseums] Tactile globe - thinking out loud

Tue Jan 11 16:13:59 UTC 2011

Am now trying to finish up some tactile images for the VA Zoo.  Just
received some money to get the images reproduced.

Am interested in what you are doing. Haven't read most of the email I get
because of lack of time, definitely of because of lack of interest.

Not sure if my article on creating Tactile Images is on my website, but will
be glad to send it to you.  It is now a featured chapter in the newest
edition of THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THE INCLUSIVE MUSEUM.  Based on a
presentation I give to docents and teachers.

Will be following your work, Shirley
