For a long time, I have been wanting to incorporate the braille alphabet into my ceramics. When I have an idea, I always try to think of a title for the project as then I can refer to it more easily in my head. Besides, I like it when a work has a title but that's another discussion...
This project was going to be called 'With your hands you see more...' although I like the sound of that better in my native tongue Dutch: 'Met je handen zie je meer...'
Anyway, when my secret collaborative partner and I were exchanging ideas, I threw this in although it's slightly off the track of what we had been thinking. But as good partners, we certainly found a way to incorporate it into the new line. This still might not be enough for you to see who this partner is, but stay focused as soon we'll be showing more...I think this is the most favorite thing I have been working on lately & they will look even better when my secret collaborative partner will add something to these...
Will need to buy one for myself that's for sure... might have to make 'don't touch me' though! :)
To know the idea behind the secret project, go read the first blogpost here. Can't wait to receive your guesses but think about it carefully 'cause you can only guess once! :)
That's a wonderful project, Mitsy :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a super great idea.

ReplyDeleteMy grandfather was blind (although he couldn't read braille) and he was always touching everything to find out how it looked. :)
Great!

ReplyDeleteI still have no idea LOL :) But it looks great!
ReplyDeletewow! This is more than lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool!
ReplyDeleteooh, these look cool! those look so touchable! I guess that's the idea!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great idea. I am curious to see how they will end up.
ReplyDeletewell, i was obviously way off the mark with my guess .. LOL!
ReplyDeletethis is an incredible idea mitsy, you are a gem to think of everyone and giving the blind a chance to enjoy accessories just shows how truly thoughtful you are :)
good luck!
Very cool - I love the look of braille.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the slightest idea... but I like what you are doing here, very much! :D
ReplyDeleteThat is such a wonderful idea! And it looks great too!
ReplyDeleteI am very highly intrigued..
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing project. I, like everyone else, am intrigued! One of my daughters has a girl with vision impairment in her class at school and she reads braille. Braille fascinates me, as does your work! x
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful and poetic at the same time! You really are so inspiring Mitsy :) Kylie x
ReplyDeleteHow amazing! I´m so looking forward to see the final result of this!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great project :)
wow, it is an amazing project and love the idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brillant idea. Absolutely as charming as can be.
ReplyDeleteMy father in law (who I sadly lost this year to cancer) was blind and an excellent braille reader. I had the thought of making braille pendants at one time but never followed through so I'm loving being able to see your interpretation. Sadly, braille is truly a dying form of communication.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Project Mitsy!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeletethat is a fabulous idea! :)

ReplyDeleteThinks that you can touch and get an experience out of.
I have no guess though.
