I have given this some thought and would like to suggest a mortar and pestle.

What do all you think???

I feel it would represent both medicinal and culinary herbs.

I am OK with someone else making the suggestion.
I am very computer challenged and do not know how to get the photo(picture) to Dave.
I did google stock photos of M&P and found a good image , It is a black M&P on white background.
*Blush* again don't know how to link *Blush*

I have a grey stone m&p , but I seem to remember reading that Dave liked the black silhouette microbages , like the cat and bear.

Or I can play with it if you like - I have Photoshop, which makes it easier.

Chelle, if you're using PS, you can have a background-less pic if you convert it to a TIFF (you might well know that already, but I thought I'd throw it out there).

I don't, but thanks! Smiling

I use Paint. It's easy enough that I can figure most of it out. Whistling Might be able to do more if I spent more time with it, but... Rolling my eyes.

So, the black silhouette thing won't work with a pestle inside of a mortar ... kinda looks like this:

Thumb of 2011-11-10/sheryl/d5bc64

However, there is free clip art, like this:

Thumb of 2011-11-10/sheryl/b4de05

or this:

Thumb of 2011-11-10/sheryl/d151e9

... both of which could be modified in terms of color, shape, etc. And it is possible to take the original pic and use it, just shrink it down, but I'm not certain that anyone would be able to tell what it is.

I think Dave looks for something more like the middle one for a microbadge. And I do think he can fix it. Computer whiz and all that jazz. Big Grin
