Hello Everyone, and Lucy!
Thank you for sharing this fascinating sign with us...Videos can look  
different to people, so here is a word description of what is written  
in each sign below...Then you can tell us what fits best with the  
sign you know, or perhaps a combination of these:

gory 1
cupped hands moving right, left, right, left
the movement is a curve down-forward-down (hitting the horizon, the  
front wall, on the way down...like the sign for pregnant...this is a  
forward curve, not a side curve)

gory 2
flat-angle hands move in a three-quarter curve parallel to the front  
wall, up and around right, and then up and around left, finishing down

gory 3
flat-angle hands do two alternating but simultaneous circles parallel  
to the wall...while the right hand is down on the inside, the left  
hand is up on the outside....the double arrowhead tells you it is two  
circles...

gory 4
gently-angled hands move right, left, right, left in a half curve  
down and to the inside...finishing hands pointing down

hope this gives some good choices...and something to discuss!
