Signing

COMMUNICATION

by Susan Blacker

To look, to touch
To see, to sign
This is what’s needed
all of the time.
If we don’t hear you
There’s no need to worry
just watch us and learn
You shouldn’t feel sorry.
I have my health
and I have got hands
so I can sign
To all of my friends
Life is for living, and living is free
so why do some people
make rules for me?
I can converse, really I can,
all you’ve to do is look at my hands.

Now watch this fantastic example of American Sign Language (asl):

So, I've lost these pin backs for making badges...they must be somewhere in the CraftyStudy but after 'tidying' they are locationally-challenged.

A week's holiday on the Undiscovered Isle - Bute - with hubby was well enjoyed by us both.

However, now back home, I've not been idle while ReporterWhippet has been sunning herself on holiday.

Not much crafting done but a lot of videos sorted and uploaded to YouTube: video #8 shows Val making an Exploding Box from scratch without using an expensive kit;
video #15 in response to ninajeanette2's question about folding a circular teabag-paper as in Mary's teabag-folding video #4;
trying to make a Jacob's Ladder for DebbieAC68 - unfortunately resulted only in Outtake #3 ...

The CraftyChums' enthusiasm for BSL (similar to ASL) is now expressed in two videos showing Ruth signing:
Ian White gave us permission to use his music for this video;
and the signs are shown slowly in this video;

Whilst writing all this over a period of a week, the pinbacks are now found! Too late - we've bought more at Craftology!!

Bye for now
