A month ago I took over a position for an elementary art teacher who resigned. In her old room a forgotten decades old white roll of paper stood upright in the corner of the room. I would determine it is 200 lb 56in.X 50 yards, yet thicker than tag board. I have been cutting project paper off of it for weeks now with a T-square and exacto knife, and there is still more to go.

You can paint on this paper without shrivel, enough tooth on it draw/shade on it also. This paper will bend and or crease but is forgiving of wrinkles, this may be a roll of wall paper backing stock or thick drawing paper someone paid big $ years ago? We will never know.

Yet this paper largely went unused, until I saw saw what a value it is for artclass.
