(urth) silk for calde bumpersticker

[Paul B]

Yes, white-on-black is about as close as I was able to get to a "chalked"
feeling, assuming chalk is white.  It's possible to get it a bit better by
blurring the letter edges a bit, or swapping the black background for
something close to shiprock, but if you're going to print it on a regular
printer and view it from 10+ feet away, there's really little point.
