[Nfb-krafters-korner] learn to make braille drawings

Wed May 11 13:29:16 UTC 2016

Sandra, most of the drawings in the So What About Drawing are recognizable.

One of the good things about the tactile lines is that you can color or
paint within them.  You could put Braille labels on markers or paint.  Paint
for me is harder to contain.  If you put a little detergent in it, you can
wash it out of most fabric and off your hands.  I learned this while I was
teaching pre-school.  But it is still messy unless you use very small
brushes.  

Flowers for me would be difficult unless you use pretty large blooms.  It
might be easier to use a screen board to make the drawings and markers to
show the colors.

Hello Linda,
I had exactly the same experience! Sighted people don't get them either; my
Mum thought the cake with a building or house with towers.
There are simpler drawings. The heart, for example, is very obvious.
There's a print letter H in the "have fun with drawings" seminar.
Sighted people do understand the pumpkin. Download the resource list files
from the first drawings seminar at Hadley. It was something like draw with
your "Braille Writer."

I'm determined to find other designs. I really really want to create a
flower or even flowers. I'm already thinking about the mechanics of a Celtic
Cross.

I was going to ask everyone how they add colour to their drawings in a
tactile way? What I mean is, in a way you can keep track of what ever it is
while you're creating it. I thought about using coloured paper which is a
short cut for things like leaves. Are there any tactile drawing pens or
anything which are colourful?

Very best wishes,
Sandra.
