Terrence,
I would also love those files of Braille pictures! It would give me
something to play around with...I love drawing, and really want to get
into Braille drawing. Here's the Eiffel Tower...I don't remember where
it's from, but it's not mine. It's a bit more complicated than a
birthday cake or a heart, and takes a full 8.5 by 11 page. Note that
this is not a beginner drawing. I made it for a friend who was
studying Wolrld History on the high school level. She loooved it and
showed it off to the other students.  If done just as the directions
say, it really does look like the Eiffel Tower!
