Feigned optimism

Hi

Are the underlined parts fully natural? Any mistake in the sentence?

She feigned optimism, though her heart was sinking, and made a V of her fingers with a broad smile on her face.

Thanks,

Tom

feigned optimism , Quite fancy English made a V of her fingers This is not fancy English, so it does not fit well with the first phrase. Also, I can't visualize,her fingers. I suggest you find a way to describe her gesture in words.
