[Nfb-krafters-korner] Drawing with braille

[jill]

Hi Aleeha!

Glad to have you join us!!!
We have just started this topic.  Thanks for a possible resource.  Tell us
about yourself.  What crafts do you like, make, or want to learn?  We have
loads of wonderful teachers who are willing to lend a helping hand.  We
offer classes to paid members.  You also get 1 free class prior to joining
to see if you would find it worth while.    The classes are done through a
conference call.  I have been a member for almost a year now.  In that year,
I have learned to make safety pin beaded projects, loom knit, crochet, and
make plarn which is plastic yarn from shopping bags.  Plarn is a great way
to recycle your Walmart bags!  Can't wait to find out more about you!
Welcom!
Jill Rossiter

Hi,
     I just joined the list yesterday, so haven't been following this
discussion very closely. I know there used to be some podcasts on the
Blind Cool Tech website about how to draw some specific Braille
pictures, but I'm not sure if they are even available anymore as that
sight appears to be down. I remember drawing some really cool images
of flags and angels with my Perkins Brailler and I really do miss it.
