Of course....I want to do that! Thanks for suggesting it...

Thank you for asking, Kathleen....You always have my FULL permission to
use any of our drawings or illustrations on any of the five web sites
that I created...that is: signwriting.org, signbank.org,
dancewriting.org, movementwriting.org, and valeriesutton.org...just as
long as your publication or article is related to our writing system,
in some way...and obviously yours is!! So go right ahead...That is very
kind of you to ask...;-))

Wow! So in Flemish and/or Dutch, the name of SignWriting will be
GebarenSchrift, or Gebarenschrift? That is fine. As you know, the name
SignWriting is our registered trademark, so it is a formal official
name of a writing system, so it is necessary to put a capital letter in
the beginning...If you don't want to place the capital letter in the
middle that is ok, although the original trademark was registered with
the word for Writing capitalized too. So the official name of the
system is SignWriting or Sign Writing....and now you have translated
that...thank you!!! I like it.... ;-)
