Cuts etc (Kathy)

I have researched into different techniques into making scars, cuts etc. I went on youtube (where you can find everything!) and found several videos.
They all used the same technique: they use skin-tite which is a silcone rubber used specially for masks, wounds and scars. It bends so it is easy to shape, and only comes off when pulled.

Mix equal parts of silcone, add pigment which is already mixed with B, then add thi-vex which will thicken it.
Use a tongue depressor, and form a line of skin-tite along back of hand. Dip a brush into alcohol and blend sides of wound onto skin. Carve a line down middle to create a wound gash mark.
Let it set for 5-7 minutes. Use paint or makeup to colour wound to make it look like blood, and darker shades of makup to blend with skin. You can then move your wrist with the wound moving with it.
To remove, pull away from skin using baby oil, or makeup remover to help assist the removal.




I also tried to make one out of wax, however it drys too quickly and becomes brittle (and may burn your hand...) so this makes it hard to mould even though i started to shape it as soon as it went on the skin.
