Sign Names in SignWriting ;-)

[Adam Frost]

The only problems that I have with the original spelling is 1)The contact
symbols break the point of contact, and 2)The I handshape is at an awkward
position being pinky down and palm out. Having seen Kelly Jo sign her name
to me, I would write the fingerspelling KJ on the arm with a brush on top of
the J to say that the J brushes the arm. I didn't place a star on top of the
K, but it could have been put there if the touch was really important. I
personally think that using the fingerspelling gives ease to reading because
the fingerspelling are fairly standard in SW and that is what this is. And
Charles, to get the arms, what I did was I got the regular joined upper arm
and forearm, and added another forearm to make it longer to fit all of the
symbols.
