<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Hi Ann and Linda-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>I did not know about the other list serve that
you mentioned, Ann. Who is the target "audience"? I am making various cards for
NFB members who need a "touch" in our affiliate and I'll be using your Black
Board. I need to find the right pen to make a distinctive raised line and we'll
see if it works for older people/diabetics with neuropathy. At least, this
raised concept and tool will get some exposure.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Congrats, Lynda! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>And regarding your upcoming next project-I am
putting in a request or two!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Please think about doing something about Joan of
Arc...yes, she wore "boys clothes" and she was one of the world's greatest
Generals (even as a teen). But the Standard that she designed and had made was a
source of pride to her and rather pretty. Just a thought. Also, when she lived
with roalty, she wore the prettiest "girl clothes" that were offered to
her.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>Also, from the Fifth Century Classical Greece,
there is Clytemnestra-the sister of Helen of Troy and one of the main characters
in the Odyssey. A very important personality to her times, in her own
right.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>The Pioneer women who crossed the Plains on foot
and in wagons maintained their full skirts the entire way. Quite amazing since
they climbed, forded, herded oxen and rode horses. Some of their "attire" is
interesting, which would include their sunprotective bonnets, but little could
be preserved. Oh-they chose to stay in dresses for privacy and would encircle
another woman/Sister as she bathed, birthed, etc-using their full skirts for her
seclusion and their own privacy as they toileted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia>That's all folks!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Georgia></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Hi Ann,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>My thanks for the eXCITING updates! So much GOOD
to hear about, which is always so welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Today is the final day of the Vision and Revision
exhibition at the first gallery. Then, on Saturday, it gets delivered to the
second and final destination. It opens at Jameson Hospital in New Castle, PA
on April 17 and is there till July 5. That is the end of the
project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Now, I will be putting my creative efforts
into developing a new body of work for my own one person
exhibition, Journey of a Thread, for the next year or two - I will be creating
mixed media fiber works for this show. I am using for my inspiration,
myths and stories of thread, ribbons, cords as metaphors in literature - from
ancient times to the present. I have a lot of research to do, lots of things
to read, and digest to create the work that will grow out of my reading and
research. Literature is rich in imagery that I can translate into my own
work. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>Best to you and thanks for keeping me in the loop
of good information.</FONT></DIV>

name is Elin Meliska and I am developing a self-guided touch tour for
blind and low vision visitors at the Smithsonian's National Postal

offer some help.<BR><BR><BR>* Does anyone have experience writing visual
descriptions of objects? Or do most museums contract this out?<BR><BR>*
Do any other museums offer a self-guided touch tour? If so, what are
some of the challenges or strengths you have encountered?<BR><BR>* How
do you advertise your programs and what community relationships have you
found successful?<BR><BR>Thank you so much for your help. Any and all
advice is much
appreciated!<BR><BR>Elin<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Artbeyondsightmuseums
