I also dream of finding ways to do painting and drawing, smile. With the tiger though it may be a reality, smile. I just need to find paint that will like the braille paper texture. Smile. I can put all three up as soon as i am done, as frankly I don't have the time to edit them, even though they are very very good books and I want to read them. Smile. Too many books too little time. I guess is the Mantra of the day, smile. Shelley L. Rhodes B.S. Ed, CTVI and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.

I have been focusing on scanning but... I had some sight until I was 7. I always thought it would be extremely interesting to have a way to create pictures or art work. My idea was to have some kind of picture pallet with a detailed raised picture. Kind of like the old paint by numbers but with much more detail. Then have a paint or color pallet that a blind person could translate the colors they imagine in their mind of the picture to the outline producing a picture of sorts. Even all these years later I still have strong memories of colors and the world around me. Katie Hill You can learn a lot if you are humble enough to listen.

I have Color and Jewels By Victoria I can't rememeber her last name and the BN is charging or I would tell you what the address would be. But... these are on the origins and history of colors and different jewels with fascinating facts about them. The color book has chapters called Ocra, Black and Brown, White, Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, indigo, and "the Paint box". It sounds truly fantastic and I will admit I am really enjoying it, smile. The other book is about different Jewels and their histories, fascinating stories about them. Jewels are pearl, opal, emerald, ruby, saphire, diamond, birthstones, and I know I am forgetting one or two, smile. But let me know, as since I am so busy I don't have the time I want to have to ed these. Shelley L. Rhodes B.S.
