Opening the wound edges up allows you to create a tattered effect. Raise the 'wound edges' using a Derma Wax spatula, lightly lubricated with Cleansing Cream. Do this carefully.
To add a suggestion of depth to the 'wound', colour the bottom of the wound using black make-up. Then you colour the inner side of the wound with dark red make-up (Grimas Water Make-up Pure or Crème Make-up Pure). Colour all around the 'outer side' of the Derma Wax as well.
Finally, you add Grimas Blood, Filmblood or Blood Paste to get the required effect. Grimas Blood Paste is a dark red very thick paste for making older wounds (clotted blood effect) and various special effects. The stiff structure of the Blood Paste lets you produce three-dimensional effects. To improve adhesion to the skin, first clean with Grimas Cleansing Lotion. Apply Blood Paste to the skin with a Derma Wax spatula. The structure can be modelled for a short time (approximately 5 minutes). Close the packaging properly after use.
Please note: hold the two upper sections of the 'ripped off' finger in place with the thumb; this helps keep the finger bent while creating or showing the effect.
Hint: keep a tissue around the 'ripped off finger' wound. It makes it look as if you are stopping the blood flowing and helps mask the bent finger. It also prevents leakage of Blood or Filmblood onto clothing.
