Beetroot is actually excellent as stage blood because cooked with starch before used it's about the only substance that vanishes completely when whashed at high temperatures. Used it on Layd Macbeth's bloody hands and her white dress came back from the cleaner spotless time and time again.
I'm an artist - this is where I show my work in progress, post photos from my everyday life as an artist and write about art. I've been supporting myself as an artist for the last 14 years and I want to share my strategies and experiences as I work to achieve more - and that inside information I wish I had had 15 years ago.

Lol...such a powerful image...
I am new to your blog, and have fallen in love with your work!
Bravissima!
Lovely to meet such a talent.

Men du är dramatisk!
Great image! It reminds me of the incidental 'art' I made when I cleared out my kitchen cupboard:

I once tried to dye a cotton scarf using beetroot juice - but most of it washed out and all that remains now is a faint blush of pink!
drama!
not bad at all :)
