Effects on the skin.

Scarification using Tuplast, latex and gelatine.

We started by looking at different tribes and the markings and scarification they each have with the meanings behind each of these. Creating our own markings on the skin using materials such as latex, Tuplast and gelatine. In this lesson we decided to play around with creating markings on the skin using Tuplast to do this. Tuplast comes in a squeezable tube so it comes out easily and is also easy to move and shape when applied onto the skin, it Is quite tacky and stays tacky on the skin until powdered over, which is the same as gelatine on the skin until powdered it will stay quite sticky and tacky. I was the model the designer of this experiment decided that she want to create the effect of veins running down my arm that also looked similar to scarring using the tuplast.
