::MUCH CLEARER IN FULLVIEW::

Yes, these are the real American Sign Language letters that spell 'FAERIES'. We've (and by 'we' I mean mi madre, hermana, y yo) been learning ASL for a while now, and I combined it with my obsession with computers. This is the result, please enjoy (or at least tell me why you don't.)

The sillhouettes are those of my sister Gwen and I. We took the picture, and we have both agreed to upload the,.

Done with Paint Shop Pro 5, and done in 2008.

What a great poster this would make! Really, I would suggest this as an idea amongst all the dry educational posters out there, this one would stand out.

9 Melissa "Bee" Stephan replies: "Thanks, that’s a pretty big compliment, in my book. Especially since we started learning sign language to help communicate with some of the special needs children my mother teaches. I wonder what they’d think of this?"

this looks great. It looks like you had fun doing it and making the poses. You sure have some grat ideas

:-) Melissa "Bee" Stephan replies: "Letters F and A were both pictures taken beforehand without this project (?) in mind, but we did have lots of fun with E-S poses. We took about 10 pictures, but we chose those for keeping. Thank you for the comment, I love feedback!"

:-) Melissa "Bee" Stephan replies: "Thank you very much, i hope I get time soon to make more."

Maybe I just don’t remember right, but me thinks e is done a bit differently here in europe... oh, well the pics colorful and fun 1

:-) Melissa "Bee" Stephan replies: "I know that sign language changes depending on where you go and which kind you use. I think it’s all fairly similar, though, and all a great outlet of language."

Such a lovely and original idea! The colours are great and I love all their individual poses, they really give them all their own personality. But the one on the far right is my absolute favourite. Keep up the nice work!

:-) Melissa "Bee" Stephan replies: "Thank you very much, it was hard choosing poses for it, but I’m happy with them all."

I love these and your demon mirror,all your work is fun.Yousaid you like the white border on my picture mariposa,actually it’s just the paper I taped the drawing to so I could scan It,but when I get more money to have prints made of this work,I’ll remember to tell them to make a wider border.I only have prints made of a few paintings.I love the Night is one of them,to see the others,please check out: starving-artists.net or nobullart.com.I’m looking into the copyright laws of one of my drawings[She’s Like a Rainbow]cause it has rolling stones lyrics on it.I based the picture on the song.I haven’t heard back from Abcko.pub.yet.If I get the OK,then I can post it,cause it’s one of my fav’s.If you do check out the other sites,my Shooting Stars is a ’collage’painting of Dead Rock star,that I painting my senior year in High school,in 1981[yes I’m that old- will be 46 in one month’6-26’].Time flew by,enjoy it.I still feel young,the key is to never grow up and remain a free spirit[to a degree]without f--- your life up.Soprry I ramble.Thanks for your complements.Heidi

:-) Melissa "Bee" Stephan replies: "You are welcome, and thank you. You have goof taste in music, apparently. "
