I haven't done any grave rubbings but i have done some rubbings of other surface's and objects and found charcoal more responsive than crayons. less pressure is needed which makes it a little easier however you do go through it fast so i guess you would need to bring a lot for a grave stone.
LOL Good idea with the knife to cut off the wrappers =] Wish we had come up with that before lol. I like the music and it's cool how the light changes as your doing it even if it made it hard to see =] Can't wait to see you <3
@kjlg74 I guess its considered a form of vandalism which I can see. Some people like to wash the stone which I dont believe you should do because it can cause flaking and reduce the history it has in it. I just say if anyone is going to do it never leave it different from when you found it and always clean up. :)
Rubbings can damage the gravestone, but there is another technique that can do an even a better job. It might take two people. Take a squirt bottle filled with water, and a mirror with you. Spritz the stone until it glistens. Shine sunlight onto the stone with the mirror. Use a digital camera to take photos.
Thanks for posting this.
I want to do a grave rubbing of Sharon Tate's grave.
