With the help of a small 4-line x 28 character plastic braille slate and stylus, it's possible to write in braille. Each dotted character is manually punched onto the paper using the 6-dot matrix; the words are scribed in reverse (from right to left) using the slate and stylus, producing the embossed dots that are visible when the paper is turned over.
In addition to the dotted symbols for each of the alphabet, one can indicate the French diacritical characters as well as punctuation. I will attempt to write in braille the short poem I wrote earlier using knotted fabric cords. Braille symbols can be integrated into works done in encaustic.
