[Nfb-krafters-korner] types of braille cards

[minh ha]

Jill, I love this idea! It doesn't sound like it would be very hard to
make either. I was also thinking for the braille decorations, I have a
book that gives step by step directions on how to braille different
shapes on the brailler. I've used these patterns with blind children
at camps and they love to put them on cards/letters that they send
home.

recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
