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

Wed May 11 16:35:32 UTC 2016

One way to add "color" is to use different symbols in your shape. For 
example, you could decide to use a full braille cell to represent a heavy 
color ligh red or black and a two dot symbol like dots 3/4 the st sign for a 
lighter color. You might just need to make a color key at the bottom if you 
do this though to help the seer.

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.
