Scaring using moulds & applying

products used

Moulded gelatine scars (were already prepared)
Prosaide (Contact glue)
Pro-clean (to remove)
Witch Hazel
wound filler
supra colour
fake blood
cotton buds

This lesson was all applying the applying process of the scar, making a realistic wound.

1. Put the prosaide on to a cotton bud and place on the bottom side of the moulded scar and also onto the part of skin where the mould will be placed

2. Wait for the prosaide to become tacky then place the mould onto the skin pressing hard to ensure the mould is completely secure.

3. With the witch hazel on a cotton bud start to work around the mould rubbing along the edges of the mould so it into the skin to look realistic

4. Apply the wound filler into the centre of the wound to create a blood like effect, you can also use fake blood and supra colour.

5. Create a outside damaged skin effect using red supra colour and shadow; can also use a bruise wheel but I used eyeshadows.

Here is a little from my other blog on the work

For this wound the shape itself was made before the lesson by my tutor, this lesson was focusing on how to apply and blend the latex edging in the skin. Straight away without being to hard on myself I can see and learn what I did wrong, anyone noticed? well if not Its obvious I haven't cut the latex enough round the edges so the finished look in a little edging especially with the blood emphasising the mistake. Even though that didn't work the best this lesson was great; finding out about wounds and how to apply them correctly is a big learning curve. Also how freely and creatively we can create this wounds to be bloody messes with puss to a older wound with scabby dried blood and a bruised outline. I am so tempted to buy myself some to practice over the summer with.
