AW: [sw-l] Finger touch

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Hi Val, 

 

thanks for this lesson – ha  and do not worry about a missing handshape.

And it it great to use necessary pieces to be able to construct
handshapes... 

 



 

I understand your idea of the the "relationship of the fingers that are
sticking up"...

 

Just one more question if I use it for my TT-Font design. Compared to your
“construction” You see that I kept the same thick (or in this case better
thin line) for the pinky – from my point of view it is easier to read and
will not be misunderstood as two or three fingers like in other handshapes
... what do you think? 

 

Stefan ;-)

Good Saturday to everyone!

 

Thank you for your messages. It is so much fun to share ;-)

 

You are right, Stefan, that the "ASL-6 Handshape" does not have a
"straight-finger" version in either the IMWA or the ISWA, unfortunately. The
ISWA, which will be installed this summer into SignPuddle 2.0, has 244
requested handshapes, from around the world, but that one never got
requested, so I didn't put it in - darn it! ;-))

 

Of course we all know that there are unending possible configurations of the
fingers and how they relate to each other, so I placed in the ISWA all the
necessary pieces to be able to construct handshapes when the need arises...

 

Here is a screen capture of my construction of the handshape you mention
below, Stefan. These handshapes are read by the "relationship of the fingers
that are sticking up"...so this has the "ASL-6" fingers placed on the Angle
Base. To read it, put all your five fingers in an Angle, and then lift the
middle three fingers into the ASL-6 position:

Hi Valerie and sw-listers,

 

L.I.F.E.

 

thanks for this interesting discussion –

Just for fun I created some funny finger-gymnastic- exercises – smile

 

but then I understood that this last handshape is missing?? Or perhaps I
cannot find it?

 



 

 

Can you understand? Any suggestion how to construct this handshape ( pinky
an thumb contact) all fingers streched ...

 

Have fun

 

Stefan ;-)
