[Nfb-krafters-korner] Color Wheels.

[Yvonne Alaniz]

Well, couldn't we just enlarge a current color wheel and braille them 
ourselves?  You could probably put them on cardboard type stuff and put a 
pin in the middle so that the different layers of the wheel could slide 
around and get the correct result?  That is how I picture it anyway...  I 
have never actually seen a color wheel.
