<DIV>New Brazilian signs loaded to <A href="http://www.pudl.info">www.pudl.info</A>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have begun to slowly load the signs I archived during my work in Brazil. If there are other researchers from SignNet, please feel free to augment my work. Not all the handshapes that are used in Libras are available in the template, but I'm doing what I can to at least have one representative sign with each handshape available.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please give me feedback.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">SignWriting List<BR>June 11, 2004<BR><BR>Dear SW List, Stuart, and Dianne and Steve Parkhurst...<BR><BR>Recently Stuart Thiessen asked me if we could setup a resource for<BR>people who are creating SignWriting instruction materials, with<BR>illustrations that we all would be allowed to use freely, to help<BR>create good looking SignWriting documents. What a great idea, Stuart!<BR>Soooo...<BR><BR>Sooo....I wrote to Steven and Dianne Parkhurst, to ask them permission<BR>to use their illustrations from their lovely textbook, called<BR>SignoEscritura. Steve is an illustrator himself and really has such<BR>lovely diagrams!<BR><BR>I am happy to tell you that Dianne just wrote to give us permission to<BR>do this, so I will be creating a PictureBank archive...like a directory<BR>of illustrations...that will be in html, plus in a SignBank-like<BR>database in FileMaker...that way people could
actually open PictureBank<BR>while working in SignBank and SymbolBank...<BR><BR>So many thanks for the suggestion, Stuart. I will also write to other<BR>illustrators to ask their permission to use their drawings too, plus I<BR>will add the ones from my old books...they are not the best<BR>illustrations, but sometimes something is better than nothing - ha!<BR><BR>If anyone has illustrations to contribute, please tell us! I will be<BR>including the name of the artist at all times, so you will get credit.<BR>All illustrations included in the new SignWriting PictureBank will be<BR>copyright free, and free for people to use, so if you have<BR>illustrations, give only those that you want to give freely to the<BR>general public...<BR><BR>Thanks for the great idea...<BR><BR>Val ;-)<BR><BR><BR>Valerie Sutton<BR>Sutton@SignWriting.org<BR><BR>1.
