Blood recipes!

RECIPES:
1) Add blue and red food colouring to a small amount of golden syrup. Add 1/2 tsp flour and stir thoroughly.

THICKENERS:
Dry thickener:
1) Add sifted flour and gently mix. If small lumps form, wait for them to rise to the top and then remove.

Wet thickener:
1) Stir in chocolate syrup until the desired consistency is reached. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes in a warm place so it has time to thicken.
2) Put some hair gel (water soluble) for the amount of blood you want. Add red food colouring and a small amount of chocolate syrup. Add a small amount of hand sanitizer until right consistency is reached.



This is the red food colouring dripped into water,
it gives an interesting swirling effect!



















Mixing hair gel into red and green food colouring,
trying to build a consistency.





Testing the blood onto skin to see how the colour
contrasted against skin and the realism of the consistency.





Added a small amount of cocoa powder
 for a more realistic, darker colour.





This one is simply the green and red food colouring
with just water and cocoa powder, it comes out darker
 against the skin.





Testing out dripping the blood.





Attempting to create the symbol from the blood.
The absorbency of the tissue meant it started to
spread and clot slightly.
Against a harder surface like perhaps
 a white board or porcelain it should retain shape
and drip down more realistically.
