This is the same stuff that some retro lampshades are made out of. It looks kind of like rice paper but is more plastic in feel. You can make your own, but it is messy and the chemicals are toxic. You might try some lamp shade companies, they might be able to sell you a "sheet" of the stuff you can paint on. Try Moon Shine Shade company (http://www.moonshineshades.com) Hope this helps...somewhat.
