[Ravensfort] Being Period

[Kief av Kiersted]

Heilsa Irial...

Sure enough... To hide one's tent... 1. Use painted sheets  2. cotten canvas 
drop cloths (they take paint quite nicely.
There are several ways of covering, attaching, or framing your artistic 
creations over a "mundane" tent. As for as paint...use exterior grade 
latex...and "scumble" the paint in (brushed in very well - through the weave 
of the canvas) with a very short bristled brush (cut the bristles of a 
"regular" paint brush very short for the job. If needful...waterproof your 
sheets or dropcloths with a good commercial silicone spray...

There's some ideas for you and others...

Later...
