[Origami] Help identifying the following paper with a rough/porous texture

2023-04-06 Thread gera...@neorigami.com
Hello everyone. Can you please help me? What type of origami paper has a 
rough/porous texture like the one in the picture? It can be in the color shown 
in the picture or some other color; I'm more interested in the texture.

I don't know its proper name, or if it in fact has one. In Singapore, we
call it crumpled paper. It's relatively inexpensive, and manufactured in
China and/or Vietnam. It was widely available at the turn of the century
but apparently no longer sold here.
