Tombstone Rubbing

I have never done a tombstone rubbing, and have always wanted to. I live in the country and have multiple small historical burial plots within a small distance of where I live. I have often walked through them and read the names and dates, and admired the craftmanship of the markers. As one of our first group swaps, I thought it would be interesting to do a swap of these rubbings. Rubbings should be done on 8.5 X 11 inch paper, or larger if design is a larger one. Charcoal, chalk, graphite, or rubbing wax may be used. If using chalk or charcoal, spray with a fixative after ward to avoid smearing. I have included some websites for tips on how to obtain a rubbing. If you go to a public cemetery, you may need permission to do this.
Swap Requirements:
1. You will make 3 rubbings from 3 different tombstones.
2. You will send your preserved rubbings to 1 partner.
3. Enclose a note or letter describing where your rubbings came from and how you did them.
4. Choose headstones that are earlier than 1900 and are interesting in font, subject matter, or graphics.
5. RATING is a REQUIREMENT for this swap.
6. Carefully preserve images so they do not smear in the mail.
7. Have an adventure!!
