Well, I can sure tell you how to sign eleven but it would take a long time to explain all the numbers! I looked around on the web and couldn't find a link that had the numbers past ten. Anyone else have one? You may have to buy a book :)

I think a good place to look for books might be www.harriscommunications.com. I do believe that they carry books that have a lot of info. I know that they sell some of the books that I have had to use for various ASL classes and fingerspelling classes that does include numbering. Just a thougt.

Eleven is signed by flicking your index finger up/out twice, like you are doing "one-one".
And should you be interested... :D
Twelve is signed similarly, by flicking both your index and middle fingers out twice.
Thirteen is signed by starting with a 3-hand, and flicking your index and middle fingers in twice, like when doing "twelve" (but keep your thumb extended).
Fourteen is done like "thirteen", but starting with a 4-hand (thumb in).
Fifteen is done like "thirteen" as well, but starting with a 5-hand (thumb out).
Sixteen through nineteen are done by starting with the root value's hand (i.e. seventeen starts with a 7-hand) and shaking it twice as if you were ringing a bell or shaking down a thermoneter.
Peace!

as far as 16 thru 19 I have also seen in a numbering video start as if you are using the # 6 and move your pinky up and down against the thumb palm orientation is facing outward. with 17 you'd use the seven so the ring finger would do the movement and so on. Also I have seen it as if you start with the ten hand facing you and when you turn it forward you then change to the 6 hand shape. so it would be kind of like 10 facing and 6 away. 10 facing and 7 away and so on. twenty is kind of like bird in the way that the hand looks you just wouldn't put it to your face.
