Sign Language. :)

Looking at communicating with hand movements lead me to explore sign language, One of the more obvious ways of communicating using your hands, obvious? yes.....easy?..no.

I took the alphabet to begin with and started looking at all the different signs for each letter

 I decided to experiment with spelling words using pictures of the letters.

MOVE!

Movement and Motion.

Drawing these hands was good but I thought....why not see the real thing?

I got in touch with a woman at home in Donegal who teaches sign language. I asked her to sign the spelling of movement and motion for me while I photographed it.

Its a wee bit short i know...but it was worth a try..:)
