I need an arrow

[CWren at DOE.K12.GA.US]

[[The only minor spelling for this sign at the start point (both hands) 
doesn?t need the gaps.]]

You don't -need- the gaps, but they aren't -wrong-...  so is the rule that 
if you don't need them you don't use them? In cases like this where the 
hands are in the intersection of the floor plane and the wall plane, do 
you always choose the wall plane handshapes?  They do look better... 
::grin::  When choosing which plane, I often look at where my forearms 
are... in this case, my forearms told me to use the hands with gaps...

Cherie,
 
Looks great!  The only minor spelling for this sign at the start point 
(both hands) doesn?t need the gaps.  So I created the fourth one like 
this:
 
 
Hope this helps?

    OK, I think I have figured out constructing new arrows...  How do they 
look?   I would like the curves to look a little curvier...  but I like it 
better than the options I had before constructing!    I also wonder about 
the way the two arrows are side by side...  The handshapes end up on top 
of each other, is there any way the arrows could show that 'merge' better? 
 maybe if they angled in slightly, instead of ending parallel to each 
other?   Hmmm...  maybe I'll try using that curved arrow as the base and 
adding... 

FYI:  the sign is MAINSTREAM (school); a more political version that ends 
in a visual representation of -one- Deaf student among -many- hearing, 
that also (not so coincidentally) happens to look a heck of a lot like the 
sign for 'oppression'  ---For the one gloss/many signs thread--  this is 
an example where a variation in signing carries cultural/political 
meaning.  It adds a little -opinion- to the word ::smile::
