is true that when we use the Head symbol with the top off the top of the head, it gives us a way to place one face over the other in an interesting stack - to find that symbol, go to the Heads, and under the first group in Heads is a Head Symbol that does not have the top on, so we can stack more facial features into one Head symbol…Adam used that to superimpose one head on the other in his example below…</div><div><br></div><div>And all the Facial Expressions are listed on this page as Adam said:</div><div><br></div><div><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.signbank.org/iswa/cat_4.html">http://www.signbank.org/iswa/cat_4.html</a></div><div><br></div><div> - just click on the Group name and it will list all the facial expression and head symbols with names and ID numbers...</div><div><br></div><div>Now, below I have placed an idea...this is only an experiment - I have never shared this with anyone before, but what about the idea
of stacking mouth symbols within one head symbol? It may look ridiculous and I will not mind if you tell me so! (smile)…take a look at this idea attached…the Head Circle without the top on it, would be a requirement so we know we are stacking Facial features…we would know that those are two Mouth Positions stacked within one Head Circle, because the top of the Head circle is not there - this would only work for two positions or maybe three at the most -</div><div><br></div><div></div><br><div></div><div><br></div><div>It kind of looks silly, but fun to experiment with new ideas - it is a way to consolidate two Facial Circles into one - what do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>-------</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Apr 13, 2013, at 11:50 AM, Adam Frost <<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank">icemandeaf@GMAIL.COM</a>>
