[Nfb-krafters-korner] Braille pictures

[River Woman]

Paulette has a good point here - about what it means to "see" something. It 
is not just sighted people, it is all people who just want to have a quick 
look at something. To "look" at something is just a quick flash, and on you 
go to the next thing. "Seeing" is a very slow process, it takes a lot of 
time. It is medetative, and requires time and the use of all of the senses. 
We LOOK, but we don't SEE, and that goes for everyone until they begin to 
learn HOW to SEE.
I love Joyce's response, about FEELING the picture - because it does require 
using another sense beyond that quick LOOK with the eyes.

I think that anyone who wants to make any kind of art can do it. This is one 
way for those who are interested in it, and of course so many other ways of 
expressing creativity are explored by folks on this list. The variety of 
ways to create are endless.
