I got pictures of all the handshapes commonly used in ASL --with all 6 associated palm facings-- and put them on cards. I have about 12 index cards (some groups took more than 1 card) numbered by group, and I flip to the card to figure out which way the fingers go on some of the more complicated handshapes, like the one in vacant/empty/nude. I suppose I could do it on a two sided sheet. Then, Val, you could sell laminated copies of these reference sheets to earn money for SW... ::smile:: Another project to add to the list! Is this person the cc address? I could send her what I use as
soon as I get back to work. <br><br>I need to put all my SW stuff on a thumb drive, so I don't have to worry about whats there and whats here. I also need to get a program here at home capable of doing what I do on Publisher at work. <br><br>cherie<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Valerie Sutton <sutton@signwriting.org><br>To: List SignWriting <sw-l@majordomo.valenciacc.edu><br>Cc: signwriting@thistooshalpass.org<br>Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2007 12:17:24 PM<br>Subject: [sw-l] Question about 2-page reference sheet<br><br><div>SignWriting List<br>May 26, 2007<br><br>Hello SW Listers!<br>I received this question yesterday...see my answer below...<br><br>--------------<br><br>> I used signwriting to make notes in my ASL class and when I am <br>> looking up signs on-line.<br>><br>> I'm trying to find a two-page reference sheet (e.g.
