<DIV></DIV>>Ah, so there's something wrong, if you can't read it!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I did find it difficult to think of how to make the sign for
<DIV></DIV>>"Easter" clear. it's simply the left fist held in the floor plane
<DIV></DIV>>while the right thumb draws a cross on it in two strokes (I think it
<DIV></DIV>>represents a hot-cross bun - don't know if you have those in
<DIV></DIV>>Germany!).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I know that strictly speaking the thumb should be detached in the
<DIV></DIV>>right hand rather than having a bar for the floor plane, but since
<DIV></DIV>>it's a graphic design I thought it better to show the floor plane in
<DIV></DIV>>the same way in both hands. I also filled the circles because I
<DIV></DIV>>wanted plenty of yellow in the design :)
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>If you have any suggestions for improvement, I'll make the changes.

<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>Hi List!
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>Here's my Easter card in British Sign Language:
<DIV></DIV>>>http://bsltext.org/easter/happy_easter.jpg
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>It's a photo of my village in Somerset. A bit dull as this is
<DIV></DIV>>>England :) Yes, I had to photoshop the sky and the duck pond cos
<DIV></DIV>>>the were just grey :)
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>The quality of the symbols have deteriorated in the conversion to
<DIV></DIV>>>jpg but if you have the Adobe SVG viewer installed you can view the
<DIV></DIV>>>original in all its mathematical perfection at:
<DIV></DIV>>>http://bsltext.org/easter/happyeaster.svg
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>To can download the Adobe SVG viewer plugin from
<DIV></DIV>>>http://www.adobe.com/svg/
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>This will allow you to view SVG from withing your browser - it
<DIV></DIV>>>works with IE, NS and Mozilla but unfortunately not with Firefox
<DIV></DIV>>>yet. If you hold down the alt key you can use the mouse to drag the
<DIV></DIV>>>picture around, if you hold down control or control-shift you can
<DIV></DIV>>>use the mouse to zoom in or out respectively. The SignWriting
<DIV></DIV>>>remains perfectly sharp no matter how large or small you make it :)
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>Of course if you know XML you can download my SVG file and play
<DIV></DIV>>>around with it until you break it!
