I think the tactile pictures are totally cool. I mean besides using that 
wooden thing with the wheel attached to it and you can draw pictures with 
it. I don't know what that thing is called though.

Kevin:

I haven't used thermoform paper for probably about 15 or 20 years now, but I
think it's still out there.  Used to order it from American Thermoform.  If
you do a google, I bet you can still find them.

What I now use for labeling is either dymo tape, or laminate sheets, like
those you can buy at Staples.  You just do your label, cut it out, remove
the backing, and put it where you need it.

I have found, though, that you have to be careful, because some of the
cheaper forms of laminate don't work very well with Braille.  For example,
if they are too thin, they can wrinkle as you put them in the Brailler, so
get the good thick stuff.
