Rubbings of stone carvings in pencil.

Here is a collection of rubbings. Rubbings of stone carvings in pencil. I collected the images this morning, some of them came from St. John's. In this instance I have used a soft pencil (4B) .The images are created by placing paper over the symbol, motif or detail of choice and rubbing. I tended to rub back and forth in the same direction. Wax or chalk is just as effective. Then they were scanned, re sized and enhanced.
It's a continuation of the symbols, motifs and detail theme, below are designs including, oak leaf, circle and cross and a rolling scroll.
