<br />
For some reason (probably file size?) I couldn't get the pdf document to attach. Here is a sample from the larger document... I'm sending it to Val also, in case its too big for the list.<img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/HP_ADM%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-5.jpg" align="bottom" hspace="0" vspace="0" alt="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/HP_ADM%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-5.jpg" title="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/HP_ADM%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-5.jpg" border="1" /><br />

I think this is an excellent type of resource. I think it will help many people jump between the hand and the symbol. <br />
<br />
<br />
My thoughts (perhaps common sense but worth mentioning maybe):<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Make sure the palm facing and the handshape symbol are identical. I didn't have time this morning to really view all the handshapes to check this, but I was impressed by it. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
2) I think line drawings are better because there is much less peripheral information to distract the viewer (jewelry, watches, clothes, scratches, fingernails, etc.) I do have a document I wrote up on how to use Gimp to do some very basic linedrawing work. It isn't perfect like an illustration, but if you give yourself a good background, it should work pretty well for this purpose. I could email that to you, Cherie, if you want.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

This is a wonderful chart, Cherie!<br />
<br />
I have never seen this before that I remember...but I like it!!<br />
<br />
I can send you the illustrations that we own the copyrights to, and <br />
you could replace the illustrations one by one...If you have time to <br />
do that, tell me, and I will start sending them to you...I may not <br />
have all of them, but you could always take photos of your own hands <br />
too...I have some hand photos as well, of my nephew's hands...<br />
<br />
Once the illustrations are replaced, then I hope when you post it, <br />
that you will give it the most open and free license <br />
possible...copyright free....I want everyone to use SignWriting, and <br />
diagrams related to it, freely with no restrictions...<br />
<br />
I feel frustrated when people think a writing system would be <br />
restricted from use...nothing can be farther from the truth...<br />
<br />
We can place this new chart on our SignWriting site as well as <br />
Wikipedia...I know it will be useful to people, as it was to you ....<br />
<br />
Many thanks for all you are doing, Cherie...<br />
<br />
Val ;-)<br />
