did you use wet paper for the tarp?

The tarp is made from Kleenex tissue painted with acrylic craft paint and put in place while the paint (tissue) is still wet. The process is a little messy but it works. Its the same process I use for all my tarps (regardless of color), shop rags, towels and so on. Handling the wet tissue will always cause some tears but it is easy enough to patch by just laying on some new tissue and painting it the same color as the tarp. The painted (wet) tissue will create its own natural folds and creases as it molds to the object it is placed on. Thanks!
