what we have as regular white drawing paper would be too inflexible, but maybe
you could soak it first, like intaglio paper is soaked. you don't want it
sopping, but maybe if you got the top of a big stack wet and let it sit under
weights until the moisture got pretty well distributed, it would get soft
enough.
