Would appreciate instructions on faux finish technique that is a leather look on walls by using crumpled tissue paper after you've painted the wall the basic color. What mixture is used to paint on the wall when applying the tissue paper? What mixture is used to "cement" the paper to the wall? What paint and medium is used to wipe over the dried tissue paper to bring out the finish? We'd like to do one wall in this faux finish but can't find details. Thanks!!
