It’s easy to draw a post. Then put a word balloon that says “Huh?”with it, and it’s more of a clue that it’s a post, as in Deaf As A… Do that on an Index Card, and behold, you have a Post Card.

Or draw a poser on it–Posed Card. Or a lady taking off her dress (ooh!) and putting on another one–Change Of A Dress card.

Open window with breeze wafting in–Draft Card. Storefront–Business Card. One-watt light bulb–guess!

Nope, that ain’t it. But nice try.

For Day 14 of this challenge, I decided to get more up close and personal with the subject matter to demonstrate that Salt and Pepper differ more complexly than black vs. white. I used Google Images in searches on “salt crystals” and “peppercorns.” After I did my drawing, lettering and signature, I did a little origami on the card so that within the card the scan would include soft and sharp focus (I raised the lid of the scanner just a bit via the thickness of a pad of Post-Its) for a feel of looking-through-a-microscope. After the scan I used Microsoft’s photoediting software to tint it blue and goose up the midtone darks and the contrast.
