I found it cheaper to make my own, and if you do it on fabric, they'll last
years...
Get a roll of artists' canvas...
Prepare it to receive paint; I forgot what it is, something like gecko???
Get a can of regular white latex house paint, and a can on the color you
want; blue, red, etc.
Get two big sponges; those irregular natural ones are better.
Work the paint in by use of the sponges, alternating colors, etc.
Allow it to dry and staple it to a long dowel; then roll it up!
I have one b&w photo on my website that shows the results...

Happy sponging!
