[Nfb-krafters-korner] raised line kits

[Ramona Walhof]

I have heard very good things about Ann Cunningham's drawing boards.  I also 
bought a board from the Independence Market at the NFB Headquarters for our 
BELL program last summer.  It works very much the same way Joyce described. 
You just draw on it with a stylus. I think it is screen over wood, not too 
expensive and makes a good outline.
