    Barrack comments that he doesnt know why the Luck charm has braille. Kaycee Binns told me "we did the Braille because we want people to feel the words, not just see them. Basically, talk the talk and walk the walk..."

     

     

    News Release

     

    Atlanta,

    Georgia – January 2009

     

    “This is actually my favorite,” is what

    President-elect Barack Obama said while revealing a handful of his

    current lucky charms to reporters on a flight in late June. “It is

    like a little piece of luck,” he added. Most recently in Time

    Magazine’s Person of the Year issue Obama is featured holding his

    lucky charms.

     

    The bit of

    luck Obama refers to is one of Kaycee Binns’ 12 Braille Word

    Pebbles.

     

    Kaycee Binns is the founder and chief artisan of Metal Morphosis Inc., an

    Atlanta-based company who creates all of their metal art pieces in

    the United States. Binns also fashioned eight Braille Phrase

    Keychains that recently won “Best of Show” at the January New

    York Gift Show
