hey dear,
no it's not Braille (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille) (which I love also)..though it is my version of tangible coded text.
it's a code of nails...based on size and sequence of english lettering. I use the same code in my BOok of Hope pieces...but these Letters are less structured...italicized like my handwriting instead of a formal book text. there is no resin...this is aluminum sheeting over wood with nails only. the aluminum is scratched and weathered and colored. I have to scan some old photos that show this clearer.
