I've always used newsprint for the rubbings. It's lightweight, so you get a good imprint, you can get it in rolls, pads or by the box (Amazon or Staples carry it). I buy the bleached version, it's a bit lighter than the standard unbleached. I use a relatively soft natural graphite from Derwent for the rubbing, but I've also tried some colored pastels that can yield some interesting results.<br /><br />Hope that is helpful!ACreativeDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987061792709372219noreply@blogger.com
