Hello Lucyna and Everyone!
I am so happy that you are posting signs for us to read...Thank you!  
And I hope others will too...Questions are always welcome ;-)

My lessons are not perfect. There are so many new symbols in the IMWA  
that have not been documented well. And there are also SignSpelling  
Rules that were established back in the 1980's, with the skilled  
signwriters of our Deaf Action Committee (DAC), that never got  
documented properly too....

So this is a great help to me...because as I explain why we write  
this way or that way, I can hopefully also prepare E-Lessons on the  
web that will document the discussion...

And there is nothing to worry about...Because you write very well,  
Lucyna...These are details that are necessary to learn, but over  
time, they become clear anyway...smile...

So I would write your sign differently based on a SignSpelling rule  
called "Always Write The Position of Contact"....

E-Lesson
Always Write The Position of Contact
http://signwriting.org/lessons/elessons/less063.html

Let me prepare a lesson based on this, and I will post it to the List  
next message...

Val ;-)
