Art work: Mimi Spirits by Thompson Nganjmirra - Mimi spirits are nonphysical beings who have been present and active since Creation and are attributed to the Kunwinjku people, of Kakadu. This blog has been developed to display my work for the City and Guild Level III Certificate in Embroidery with Sian Martin of Distant Stitch and other interesting photos of Australia and inspirations from my travels around the world.

Rubbing of Rock Wall
I made a rubbing of one segment of the rock wall using white tissue paper and black pastel. It was very windy and therefore hard to get a good sample as the paper was blowing everywhere. I will take some more rubbings using black paper and white crayon, of different areas of the wall.
When this sample is magnified it does however, provide some interesting texture (from the mossy surface and the rough stone) and portrays a feeling of movement.

You could try using a wax candle on white paper and then flood the surface with inks or runny paints to reveal the 'hidden' rubbing.
