[Nfb-krafters-korner] Welcome to Henry and Cindy!

[slery]

Thanks for the welcome, Joyce.  I'm a little behind on some of my emails but
catching up.  I don't really have anything that I'm currently working on
because I am trying to find my niche with alternative techniques.

Before becoming legally blind, I have a BA in Photography and I also worked
in charcoal and colored pencil and the occasional cross-stitch or
latch-hook.  Right now, I would love to figure out how to make tactile
drawings.  I'm not particularly interested in collage type drawings (i.e.
gluing things to paper) but something where I can actually "draw".  I've
thought about maybe using screens with different size holes and/or even
layering these for different effects and placing paper over top of them.

I would also love to figure out a way to make embossed images.  In
particular, some of my favorite photos I would love to have embossed so that
as I lose more vision I can still "see" them.

Cindy
