Chipping )was: String rollers)

[Z! Reinhardt]

The easiest paper to use for doing string rubbings is masking paper,
available from paint supply stores or hardware stores with a substantial
paint department.  It comes in a roll, is about a foot wide, is thin but
strong.  Very easy to get a lot of  details using an ordinary pencil (string
windings, etc.)

Maybe not as demented as mylar (certainly cheaper).

Commonly called a string pattern.  Most people use butcher or wrapping
paper.  Mylar is best for it's demential {:)} stability.
