Cool.  I have one color-based langauge, one scent-based (that didnt go very
far) and I've been kicking around doing a consignlang for ages.  The only
reason I haven't done it yet is I never seem to get around to learning
Stokes notation.  Now that I'm conversant in two sign languages and I can
begin to see what is common and what is unique to them, I'm more interested
than ever in actually doing this.

I'd love to cat with you on or off list about your consignlanguages.
