[Nfb-krafters-korner] Realistic object drawings.

[Ramona Walhof]

There are tactile graphic embossers.  Maybe tactile graphics can be made on
many embossers with the right software.  There will certainly be people who
know about them at convention if not demonstrations of them.  The drawings
can be excellent quality, so it is an excellent approach if you have access
to the machine.

I really wish they were more affordable for an individual. I want to get my
hands on every form of tactile drying equipment available. It would help me
tons in my college classes. I want to see what works best.
