Brit Lit: Rubbings

Update: Here are instructions from Dick Blick to make relief rubbings.

 I want more art in Brit Lit.  Brass Rubbings date back to the thirteenth century.  I want my kids to make rubbing plates.  Here and here are my inspiration projects.  Here are detailed instructions from the Monumental Brass Society if you can access brass inscriptions.   We will try black and gold crayons.  The traditional wax is heelball wax.  You might try Faber-Castell Bees Wax crayons.  Anything worth doing is worth over-doing.
