Hello Kathleen, Sara, Kristof and everyone!
I am so happy for these questions ;-))

Of course I have not seen a video or photos of this sign, so we risk  
the danger that it might not be correct, because I have never seen  
the sign. Do you have a video clip or photos to show us?

Meanwhile, this is the word description of the sign attached below:

1. The hand is in a K handshape with the palm facing the reader, and  
the middle finger touches the right side of the forehead.
2. The hand then rotates in a curve forward and then side right, but  
it does not travel or leave the head very far. It rotates staying in  
one place, or at least very close to the place of contact.

Do you want the hand to stay near the place of contact? Because the  
rotation symbol in this sign means that there is no traveling  
motion...the hand stays very close to the head and rotates forward  
and right, but it does not travel...

So write again to tell me if you want it to travel? That is written  
differently...

Plus notice that the arrow is placed above the hand rather than below  
it... smile... placement of arrow is another tiny rule we can discuss...

Congrats on all you are accomplishing in Flanders!  Val ;-)
