ANGLE HANDSHAPES continued...

FINGER DIRECTION RULES FOR STRAIGHT FORWARD OR BACK
1. When fingertips are directed straight forward, or straight back,
they are actually written TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE BODY.

Example 1:  Angle Hand Fingers Directed Straight Forward (Away From
Your Body)
The back of the hand is facing the body, and the fingertips are REALLY
directed forward away from the body.

3. Exception: When The BASE of the Angle Hand or the Cupped Hand
Touches The Other Hand, or the side of the Face, while the fingers are
directed forward or back... In this rare case, the fingers have to be
directed AWAY FROM THE CENTER OF THE BODY, to make it clear that the
fingertips are NOT doing the contact...
