Liquid latex scars development

Here we tried to re-create a scar like effect on my skin, we did these by using multiple materials such as;

     ~Liquid latex
     ~Tissue
     ~Foundation
     ~Eye shadows
 
The method in which we used these materials were;


  1. We firstly applied a thin layer of the liquid latex to the back of my hand before stripping some tissue into small rectangles. We then rolled the tissue in to thin runner bean like shapes which we then placed on the back of my hand where the liquid latex was placed, but quickly as we found the thin layer of the liquid latex dried quickly.
  2. To create the wound shape we decided to do the first step again but to make a slight ''()'' on my hand so that we could fill it with fake blood or red paint to make it look like a wound. 
  3. We then applied a layer of the liquid latex over the tissue to make the surface of the scar the same texture. This layer of the liquid latex should be thicker than the first layer that we applied to the base of the back of my hand. 
  4. Then you will have to wait for the liquid latex to dry before applying a second coat. So we then repeated step 3.
  5. After the liquid latex had dried you can then apply a layer of foundation to the area of the wound- This is so that the scar fits in with the skin tone of my skin.
  6. We then used various shades of browns and blacks to make the wound have that dirty effect. 
         Below i have included our first attempt at using the liquid latex.
