NORWAY Smooth and Jerky Circles

[Ingvild Roald]

Thanks Val,

I do *not* want to make SignWritng jerky ... It is beautiful as it is, it's 
just that I do not know enough ..

So please, when you have time, can you explain to me and others how to write 
jerky motions? Like the 'signing-like-a-hearie'...
