Hey Geoff! I got my (second packet) shipment of Mellotex! Wow, it really is a bit different, I can see the appeal already. It's almost a cross between Bristol Smooth and Arches hot pressed....chopped a sheet up (a bit of damage on the edges due to shipping
) into some 10 x 11 or so pieces and will probably do my next drawing on it. Played with it a bit last night with various pencils....definitely will be a learning experience....
