Making Blood

This article/video was about the history of Blood used on stage and in film. They go over a few basic ways the blood was made. The first way is the Grand Guignol. This is using vegetable Glycerine and then colored with red, a little bit of yellow and a touch of blue. Next is the Kensington Gore. This way is 2 parts of golden syrup, 1 part water Red/Yellow/Blue food coloring, a bit of corn starch, and peppermint extract taste. And finally theres the Modern Dick Smith Recipe. This is 2 quartz corn syrup, 5 oz Red/Yellow/Blue food coloring. Non-dairy coffee creamer to thicken it, Liquid lethicin and peppermint extract to taste.
I thought this video was good but a bit too long for my taste. I mean theres a lot of info in it but I don't really want to sit through a 20 minute video. But I found the ways they make blood interesting and I'll try some of them maybe myself this year.
