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

I believe it’s a type of sea snail.

I created the original sculpture using diagramming foil.

Very interesting. I’m up for the challenge. Just awaiting further instruction.

Classic quote (but I’ve never called this work ‘porn’).

It has started the ball rolling again & I have been  receiving media requests most of the day.

I hope more people take the time to realize the beauty of this work and the value it has for a non-sighted reader.

Tomorrow morning tactile atelier bookmark will be discussed on/for AOL news.

Fingers crossed.
