A photograph of the sculpture I made for image 3. It is a naked woman wearing a gas mask with her arms and legs tied to points out of view. I used fimo, sculpey, cardboard, twine, mesh, carpet tape & ribbon to create this work. It is mounted on a piece of Braille paper, ready for the thermoform machine.
Tactile Mind Studio Limited uses thermoform plastic for tactile images and Braille descriptions. This is a very sturdy material and pages can be sprayed and gently wiped with disinfectant. tactile mind book and tactile atelier bookmark both have paper accompaniments which can be held back and mailed (at no extra expense) when the pandemic passes.
tactile femme – new work produced in 2019. Check it out.
Book of tactile photographs with braille for the blind/vision impaired to be released Spring 2015.
Hopefully all diagrams will pass second proofreading, and my thermoform machine won’t eat them.
It’s taken me awhile to get this finished – Life got in the way.

This was my very first “acceptable” tactile diagram; my first try looked like “roadkill with oven mitts”.
