>> Hi all,
>> Here's another tactile painting I did yesterday...it's called the
>> living room. I did not concentrate much on the theme this time as my
>> motive was to include a variety of tactile elements in it. Here's it's
>> description: It is an indoor scene with a green color wall and cream
>> color carpet in the foreground. The carpet is made with foam paper so
>> that it can be differentiated from the wall. There is a cabinet to the
>> left. It has two doors that can be opened. It contains four books
>> that can be touched and one of them can be opened page by page. Over
>> the cabinet, there is a frame with a tactile modern art, a wine bottle
>> and glasses and a bronze colored candle stand with a candle on it.
>> There?s a teak colored grandfather clock hanging on the wall towards
>> the left side. The hands in it are tactile... the minute hand is on 5,
>> the hour hand is on 10 and the seconds hand is on 15. A light brown
>> Labrador(puppy) is sleeping in a brown colored basket wich is on the
>> carpet. It is resting its head on his paws which are on the rim of
>> the basket. His body is half covered with a white sheet. Just beside
>> him, there?s a standing lamp; the stand has a metallic color where as
>> the lampshade is yellowish. All of them are 3D, so they can be touched
>> and explored. It would be nice to know what you all think of it.
>> Thanks!
