craftgrrlWhat is this?!
OK firstly this is a synthetic fabric before anyone says angel hair tissue paper. It's about the weight of fine organza, but stiffer, its loosely crinkled (that doesn't show up in the pic) and it deforms and distresses brilliantly with a heat gun. It takes acrylic paints and various inks without problems. I love it BUT I bought it at a booth at a show and have no idea what its called or where to find it! Mainly I just want to know what to search for but bonus points if you can give me a UK supplier. Help appreciated!

Second pic is after painting, sprinkling with embossing powder and zapping with a heat gun (result placed on black felt). I'm starting to go with the tyvek theory but I've never come across it that weight before.
