Finger touch

[Charles Butler]

The second one is perfect for me, Valerie & KJ.  I'd use that fo "noiva" (fiancee) in Libras, in which a woman is holding out her right hand to show off her lovely engagement ring.

Of course, I need the symbol completely filled in for looking at the back of the hand, but that's easy enough to do.  Anyway, I think it's the clearest for what I'm trying to write.
Thank you very much, Val!

  Hello Kelly Jo!
  

  Thanks for this question, and you are right that is an unusual situation.
  

  Here is a screen capture of two of my attempts...One places the Touch and Hinge Movement under the Circle base for the handshape, which I would hope shows that the fingers that are creating the Circle base, namely the Ring and Thumb, are the ones doing the movement...I don't think that looks like touching the chest...but if you are worried about that, you could write just the Hinge Movement under the 7-Hand and take away the contact completely...
  

  The second one uses another version of the 7 Handshape...one with stretched fingers, which then gives you the space to put in the Hinge Movement...in that one, the Touch contact is not necessary...because the Hinge movement is supposed to be on the end position of the sign, or the "position of contact" which it is...

      I'm having a problem with another sign in Snow White.  When Darline signs "7" for the first time, she touches the ring finger to the thumb three times.  How do I write that? Using the "touch" symbol makes it look like the sign is touching the chest.  My other thought was that, technically, it could be a hinge movement, but there's not enough room to place the hinge symbol so that it doesn't look like one or more of the other fingers are wiggling, especially if I need to place three of them.  I'm stumped!
