Cherie -
I think your facial expression is wonderful and it sure looks good to 
me!

I was asking to learn myself ;-))

I do not know ASL very well. But I thought maybe there are some 
standard facial expressions that we could start writing in a standard 
way...

And I believe the facial expression is a good one and needs to be 
written...the very fact that it is natural to you is the important 
point...

What about lips pressed together in a tense way...I know you wrote a 
wrinkle on one side of the mouth...what about tense lips combined 
with that wrinkle?

It is like you are placing that Hat...and that "placement in space" 
seems to be accompanied by tense lips in ASL...at least sometimes...
