ASCii art for online, text only, history project

From puc...@musenet.org · alt.ascii-art · 25 Feb 1999 00:00 · View full thread · report
A few days ago I sent a request for historic items done in ASCii art. A
couple of people asked where they could find samples of the items of was
looking for. So here are some URL with sample pictures of items from my
wish list. There are other locations to find similar pictures and I'm
not necessarily locked into a particular mask/kachina
doll/carving...etc. If you find one you think would be better, or you
want to make something unique but in the style of...that would be great.

Of course, I will make sure you get credit for your original work.
Anything you'ld like to share from the list would be helpful.

Thanks again.

Lisa
