This is truly amazing Valerie, to catch the tension in the legs, the wood, even the ax.

Dear SW List!
Recognize some symbols used in SignWriting, in this Movement Writing 
phrase? (see attached)

Can you see how Movement Writing as a research tool, was applied to 
writing signed languages back in 1974 in Denmark, and slowly, we have 
the writing system called SignWriting today...thanks to years of work 
by very dedicated signwriters like yourselves ;-)

So we use the double-stemmed arrows, the tilting symbols, the Grasp 
and Touch and Pressing Contact symbols, the Tension Symbol...all 
those are used in both SignWriting and the general Movement Writing 
system too:

See this web page which I just finished today:
