    Hi Mark! You should try it just for fun, even if you decide not to do it
    with your class. I am not really sure of the whole historical background,
    but supposedly, colonial people, who could not afford wallpaper, would use
    this technique. When I do it with my students, I use bright acrylic colors,
    and sometimes only the primaries, because they will be surprised at the
    secondaries that happen "by accident" -- I teach elementary art.

    Anyway, this tool looks like this: ___!````!____!```!___!```!___
                                                              !
                     !
                                                              !
                     !
                                                              ```!
                 !```
                                                              !``
                 ```!

    I don't really know how to draw on the computer and don't know if this will
    transfer the way I want it to, but it's square plastic and each edge has
    grooves that are each different sizes. You can also use wide toothed combs,
    ends of paintbrushes or anything else you can scratch through. No, don't let
    the first layer dry first, which it won't anyway if you put a little Ross art
    paste in it. That's what makes it paste paper! Oh, and you should mix up a
    batch of the Ross art paste, not just sprinkle the powder in the paint.

    I hope this makes sense, I think I'm trying to hurry through it too much.
    There are no visual references that I know of, so I make several examples for
    them to see first and then make a couple in front of them. They are
    fascinated! Have fun!!
