Description of the Drawing
Translated by AI: The braille drawing shows a hot-air balloon in flight. A very distinctive feature of this aircraft is the large balloon envelope, the shape of which can be easily felt. At the very bottom of the drawing is the wicker basket. This is attached to the balloon envelope by suspension ropes. The scale of the basket and the balloon envelope has been faithfully reproduced in this braille drawing. The envelopes of hot-air balloons come in a wide variety of designs on the outside. Sometimes they are plain, sometimes colourful, often decorated with patterns, and occasionally a balloon takes to the skies bearing advertising. We have deliberately left our envelope blank. Perhaps you’d like to fill it in yourself? You could come up with your own dot pattern, write something inside, or colour the balloon in with pens.
This braille drawing was originally created for the non-profit organisation einfach machbar e. V. during the project “Blind Children Draw Pictures – Drawing with Letters” financed by the charity Aktion Mensch.
