Cindy, What kind of paper do you use on this board, and where do 
you buy the paper.

Thanks

Carol

Amelia has had a person design a board that is made with a type 
of
rubber-like material that allows you to draw and the raised line 
is felt
from the top side, no flipping it over.  I purchased one at 
convention for I
think it was $15.

Her email is:
ameliadickerson at gmail.com

She gave me permission to pass along her information.  She is 
very sweet and
(like me) a formerly sighted artist that was trying to figure out 
a way
create tactile art by literally drawing.

 There was someone on this list that had made these drawing
 boards.  It  had
 a rubber type pad glued to like a clipboard.  You used a pen
 and could
 draw or a sighted person could trace over a printed picture
 and after using the
  pen and board  you could feel the flip side as it was raised
 enough to
 feel  it.

 I would draw simple things on a sheet of printer paper and
 the Princesses
 would color in Grandma's pictures.

 It could be used the opposite for a blind child.

 Is that person still on the list?  I know someone that would 
like to
 purchase a few of these boards.  I got 2 at the time for the
 2 oldest, but  they
 stay at Grandma's house.

 Um, ok, anyone got the money  for that?  Seriously, we're
 looking for
 affordable...  That  particular piece of equipment is not! Think

 I'll
 stick to my  pen and felt board.  Cheap we're talking,like
 $5 or less,)
 no  electricity needed and no software either.
