POLAND...How to write S....It is in the 9th group of handshapes in
SignMaker. See diagram:

You need to choose from a handshape there...the three possibilities I
chose were:

1. The thumb and index touch at the tips, making a circle
2. The thumb and index touch straight
3. The thumb and index touch but very bent and tight, and the other 3
fingers are together, not spread

People sign differently and hands are not always as beautiful and
flexible as yours! Your hand is lovely...

You need to choose the handshape that would be most easily read by the
general Deaf population...The EXACT bend of the fingers that you have
in the picture, is not in the IMWA at this time....Val ;-)
