I wasn't at first either, but the reason I know it better now is because I have been making pictures of every handshape in the ISWA. When you see the pictures of how the heel view works, it will make a lot more sense. I am hoping that I will have them
all done and up on the web before the end of this summer. I have done groups 1-4 which are all up on the web. I have also taken photos for all of the other handshapes. Now I am just putting all of them together. The future is exciting. ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Adam</div><div><br>On May 24, 2009, at 9:09 PM, KJ <<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:kjoanne403@signwriting.org" target="_blank" href="/mc/compose?to=kjoanne403@signwriting.org">kjoanne403@signwriting.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div><br></div>I am in San Diego with Valerie doing various work. We were
talking about a sign for SignPuddle in ASL, and I came up with two versions of
writing the same sign. Essentially it mean to throw signs together in one
place. I felt that was more accurate to what SignPuddle means than to say an
actual rain puddle since the meaning here is more a collecting of signs rather
than raindrops into a puddle. Now the reason for the two versions is because I
wanted to try out how it reads with the top view verses the heel
view. I personally like the look and feel of the heel view. What do you all
think? Here are the two versions, first with the second part of the sign in
top view and then in heel view. Or you can go to SignPuddle and find them
