Secret Kung fu manuscript

[brianluce]

I need a prop -- one of those Asian style secret scrolls that unfurls and has the calligraphy on it. Anyone out there know how I'd go about making one? It should look old. Is there a certain paper stock?

 

[Brian Parker]

You can age paper to look like ancient scrolls or maps by soaking a heavy stock, especially a fiberous kind, in tea until it stains.
