KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (2005) | dir. Ridley Scott

Rosenkavalier or whatever. I don't know these operas

I have been given Papyrus offcuts! Experimentation shall commence

Only have a sharpie but it doesn't bleed, and only smears in the first couple seconds before the ink dries

It doesn't like to tear if you pull in a straight line, but if you pull diagonally it will shred. Tears in a straight line if you crease it first

Crumples stiffly, shows white crease marks and doesn't want to flatten again

You can cut shapes in it!

Smoulders, but surprisingly resistant to burning

Soaks up water but doesn't fall apart, becomes very flexible

Back to the intended purpose. The paint sits on the surface so you have to wait until it's fully dry or it will smear. Unpleasant textural experience to write on it with pencil. Both paint and pencil wiped off if rubbed with a damp finger. (Historical inks may not have done that but I don't have any)
