Lentils, Split Peas, Rice and lots of Latex...

Using liquid latex, Split peas and rice, I have designed and stuck a pattern onto the arm, with the aim to achieve a similar visual effect of scarification.  I mixed liquid latex and rice in a bowl and transfered the rice onto the body using my hands and sometimes tweezers. I then covered the design in a layer of latex and dried with a hair dryer on a cool setting. I then coloured the design using Supracolours and a sponge. I found I could exagerate the design by lightly colouring it or if I coloured the design completely it gave quite a matte effect. Finishing spray was then added to give the make up a shine. This made the colour richer and gave a more 'hot skin-like' appearance.
