Two images of a wall rubbing. The top is a scan of the original taken with a Derwent graphite stick. The lower image has been converted to a negative using Photoshop (per Sian's example), which gives a more definite contrast, and for me a more interesting and mysterious impression of the rubbing.
It's a really helpful idea and I love the wispy marks which give an ethereal feel, more like the spirit of the wall than it's substance! This will definitely be useful when interpreting into stitch - how exactly I will do this I'm not quite sure yet - but I would very much like to keep this feeling light, free and open.
