Recreating Burns

3 types of Gelatine


- Gelglyk gelatine - Flesh, dark flesh and blood colours
-  Normal Asda Gelatine
-  Geleffects slab

• Cut off chunks and put into a bowl into the microwave
• For Gelglyk put into a bowl with water surrounding it

You are able to melt down gelatine as many time as you like

Health and Safety:

• Test the temperature, burns can occur
• Do not reheat if glitter has been mixed into the gelatine
• Make sure the temperature is warm but not boiling

Mix aqua  colour after melted to add colour to the gelatine. You are able to mix anything into the gelatine, you apply and it sticks to the skin.

Glicerine - adds shine and sweat

Gelack in a bowl of water, less product means less time in the microwave

1 minute in the microwave - check after 15 seconds, if not melted, in for longer

Technique:

• Using a spatula test the gelatine is not too hot
• Use spatula brush on the gelatine onto the stick, when applied pluck the gelatine using the spatula to create a 'bubbled' effect.
• Rough edges
• Using a cool hairdryer, dry the gelatine - it has a sticky texture when dry
• Powder over the top to prevent sticking
• Start with the dark red from the supra colour palette and apply to the 'burn' blending the colours into each other
• Adding different colours including red, black and yellow to create the desired burn
• Blend in the colours, try stippling the supra colours onto the burn for a different effect

TIP: add glicerine to make it look fresh
