Hello Stefan -
What is remarkable about your work, is the way you create an  
illustration from your photos...I love your illustrations...this is  
very beautiful -

I hope you will tell us your inspiring stories about your work with  
SignWriting...I know you have visitors from all over the world,  
visiting your classroom, and also other teachers are starting to get  
interested in SignWriting at your school?

Val;-)
