Hello Valerie,
thank you for your comment on this head-contact - issue -
I agree and could follow your explanations without any problem. ;-)
There is one thing I would like to discuss - our old - already scratched
problem of writing the angle hand at a diagonal position.
If I had to write the angle hand head contact with the hand at a diagonal
position I would stretch my hand - to look at the position of the flat
hand - Now making the Angle Hand I would follow this "logic"
- I am afraid that this is a different logic which is the reason for the
differences in spelling the angle hand ??
I concentrate on the area of the back of the hand - You concentrate on the
fingers - is that correct ?
I made a gif to illustrate my ideas why I would choose another spelling !
Stefan ;-)
