My daughter, who is 11 and is blind, likes making tactile art. This is her aluminum foil snail. USD quarter for scale. (i.imgur.com)

[*A tiny sculpture of a snail, sitting on a wooden surface, and made from what looks like one continuous piece of aluminum foil. It has two cheerful, upright tentacles on its head, and the shell is lifted slightly due to the curved shape of the snail's body. There is an American quarter beside it.*]

I can just make it out and that is so cool! How did she get the foil to be so smooth?
kimthegreen 1 points 3y ago
The foil does not seem smooth to me, more rumpled like I would expect if I tried to make it into a three dimensional shape.
razzretina 3 points 3y ago
Admittedly, I can't see fine details at all, ha ha. It looks smooth to me. :D Regardless, the size and detail with this material is really cool and this is a great piece of art from someone her age. :)

OP, cool work by your daughter and impressive dexterity at that small scale. Do you mind my asking how she went about this? That is, does she know visually what a snail looks like, or has she handled snails or snail toys by touch?

I'm a sightling and I can't do sculptures as well as that.
Your daughter has some good skilz!
