pursang said 444 days ago:
Those are some LONG thumbs!
JIMJIM said 444 days ago:
he he..nice characters, yo ;-))
Ana said 444 days ago:
was this done on the scanner? Really relevant...and though there are a lot places I can see lines over skin and such,it's still a great idea. it seems very skinny!
Tanja said 444 days ago:
peace&love!
great idea..isn't there a theme like this maybe coming up?
tobad the cutting out lacks on quality..
flipthom said 444 days ago:
Very common hand gestures...great concept for the theme.
Nicely executed too.
Hummingbird said 444 days ago:
@Ana, yes, I did this on my scanner. It was the first time I had ever tried anything like that and I found it hard to get my big hands to fit on the scanner.
@Mark, long thumbs? You should see my big toes:)
Lange said 444 days ago:
Very striking. I unfortunately do not know if there is a message here (not familiar with the sign language alphabet, but I presume this may be saying something). Nice use of dark background.
King said 444 days ago:
Why does this remind me of a ChriZ or PThree photo?
Aren't you sorry you weren't paying adequate attention in masking around the left thumb? (minor point, but pretty obvious on this monitor. I thought it was glue at first.)
Otherwise, high marks. What do the hand signs stand for? V-Y? Wouldn't W-S be more appropriate?
King said 444 days ago:
Fooled me three times! Twice taken for ChriZ in this theme and now I'm kicking myself for not realizing that this was done with a scanner (which Ana picked up on right away).
Don't you know that you can't take photographs with a scanner? :>)
King said 444 days ago:
...obviously a scanner!
Hummingbird said 444 days ago:
@King, don't you recognize peace and love?
I am completely stunned that this featured.
King said 444 days ago:
I get peace, but not the other one. Shouldn't the pinky be held down?
Congratulations on another feature, ChriZ! er...um...Anna!
Hummingbird said 444 days ago:
King, now I'm actually not sure. I will have to google. What I thought was love ended up looking like "Hook em horns" so I knew that was wrong. Perhaps I have made up my own new hand gesture.
Ana said 444 days ago:
The sign has three letters of the ASL alphabet. The I, the L and the Y.
It means "I love you" and not "love."
Hummingbird said 444 days ago:
Thank you Ana. I just got through looking it up. Apparently I only know enough to be danerous.
Tanja said 444 days ago:
isn't it the u instead of the y..i love you = love. ;-)
mysight said 444 days ago:
Anna,way to go Sis!!!
Happy for you here.
Ana said 444 days ago:
The pinky alone is the letter I.
The forefinger and the thumb make the L
and the thumb and pinky make a Y.
:)
King said 444 days ago:
Put the two fingers of the "V" together and you get "U"...which is what Tanja is talking about, I think.
Tanja said 444 days ago:
back in school...we used to do some signing, which i really don't know if it's correct, but anyhow..
yes, stocking down the pinky.. I
then the L as Ana said..
and the u between the pinky & forefinger.
showing as you say it...(try as you read..something you can do at home)
everyone hear me out "i love you!" ;-)
Tanja said 444 days ago:
*so i might have been wrong all these years..but it's fun for kids to teach em this way..*
Make the I Love You Sign
The sign language dictionary "ASL Browser" has the I Love You sign. The sign blends the handshapes for the letters I, L and Y into one handshape.

ChriZ said 444 days ago:
Anna, congrats on the feature, nice take. I'm sure it's fun to try new things.
I won't talk about the masking though...
King, I guess you still haven't found my last one... it's a usual one so it might be hard to find!
