Set your heart free, then have the courage to follow it…

I made this peice of skin life size for a full page print ad in a medical magazine,  a little bit bigger than what you see here.  I sculpted a rectangular stretch of skin out of clay and made a mould of it.  I then stippled a few layers of liquid latex into the mould.  I pre-mixed a nice flesh colour into the latex, so didn’t need to add foundation to colour the skin.  The hardest part of this was to get the texture of the skin believable.  I made it over several times in a short space of time before the dead line.  Once the latex skin was ready, the stitches were added to my pre-sculpted pulled skin area’s by a real doctor for authenticity.
