I've never used bleeding tissue paper before, and I have to say it's fun. You can get some interesting crinkly patterns, or you can get a variety of other patterns depending on how much water you apply, and how you apply it. Experiment! You can also reuse it after you've "bled" it for collaging or other applications, because it retains some of its color. What really pleased me, though, is the colors. They are so vibrant!
