		Ok!  I have rebuilt the parchment and I think it looks better.  I ended up just using some stains.  And the edge detection filters are the bomb!  Much better thanks.
I am trying to get a hand drawn in ink look with these symbols and I am still frustrated. I keep thinking there has to be a fix that doesn't involve hand work. On the attached photo (anchor) all I did was get rid of some of the 'blur' by hand. I went ahead and dropped an unmodified symbol for reference.
any or all comments are welcome.
