Fake Blood Shopping PP#6

    Today I went to Publix and got some materials that I would possibly need in order to make some fake blood, which I want to have an abundance of for filming because I want this fight scene to be pretty bloody.  With that said I took to the internet and looked for some recipes for fake blood, and came across this website that shows different ways how to create fake blood.  I wanted a version that didn't have food coloring so it wouldn't stain the skin/clothing of the actors, so no food dye.  With that, I wanted to find a substitute for the red color part of the blood, so I turned to non-toxic ingredients, like child watercolor!

    After that, I needed the other ingredients that I would use to construct the fake blood.  The other ingredients called for cornstarch and cocoa powder.  The corn starch ould add a thick consistency that blood has, while the cocoa powder would add to the dark tint that blood has, since blood isn't just an opaque red color, however would add some depth to the dark rich red.  

The blood here has some darker areas, especially when in thick volumes and in shadow.

I then went to Publix, which to the U.K, is just a grocery store.  And like 14 bucks later, due to inflation, all the ingredients were collected.  
I bought some food coloring just in case the water color idea doesn't work!
