Comparing Tissue Paper with Medical Exam Paper in a Collage Paper Tinting Experiment

Have you heard artists talking about using the paper they put on medical exam tables as semitransparent collage paper? Apparently mixed media collage artist Kim Hamburg was at a doctor appointment and suddenly wondered if the paper she was sitting on would be good for collage...now this is a girl after my own heart! Check out Kim here on YT ‪@kimhamburgsj4dy‬

I've heard good things about it recently but I wanted to do my own comparison with standard gift wrap tissue paper (which I have used a lot of) just to see if they are interchangeable, or if one is better than the other. I thought you might want to see the results!
