Here I learnt how to create dirty teeth and skin using Fullers Earth and Tooth enamel. To get the dirty teeth look you simply took a baby bud and some of the tooth enamel (black or nicotine coloured) and applied it on to a dry tooth. You would dry the tooth before applying with a baby bud also. To create the dirty skin you simply mix Fullers earth with a bit of water and it turns in to a concrete-like paste. I used a cotton wool pad to apply the fullers earth and then dried it with cool air from a hair dryer. Once it went white or almost fully white i applied a little bit more on top and dried that to give it layers. I then used coloured hair spray (grey and brown) on the hand to give it a dirtier look and then finally used my hand to crumble the fullers earth to make it look muddy. I think the outcome of my work looks more like a zombie hand then a dirty one. However I am happy with the results.
