JM - Fun with Fake Blood...

So there's gonna be a bit of blood in our opening sequence, so I set about finding a good recipe. A bit of a search on the internet and I found one, but it didn't come out too well. So some experimental procedures later and staining my hand several times with food colouring (be careful, this takes ages to come out) I have found a recipe I think is good.

First you will need:
1. Water - One small cup
2. Flour - 2 teaspoons
3. Red Food Colouring
4. Golden Syrup



Ok, so first things first mix the flour and water in a bowl and whisk until all lumps have disappeared. You should be left with a slightly cloudy mixture. Next, put the mixture in a sausepan and bring to the boil. The simmer this mixture for about 10-20 minutes, until you have a good, slightly thick consistency to the mixture. Place back in a bowl and add some Red Food Colouring before whisking the mixture further. Finally, add 3-5 teaspoons of Golden Syrup to mixture and continue to whisk. Leave to cool before application (From personal idiotic experience). Your final mixture should look a lot like this, (lighting shows mix as very bright, it is darker in real life)



This mixture is good for showing trickles of blood, such as nose bleeds, and also for staining clothes. If anyone tries this, feedback is fine, and any questions just ask.
