Rigid collodion scarring make-up

Product Information

Before applying, map out where you want your scar to go. Use a mauve lip liner for a fresh cut look, and use a nude or natural color lip liner to simulate an older scar. Burnishing is a technique where one rubs the plate with something soft, essentially flattening silver crystals and making the image have a very shiny metallic appearance in the areas where it’s done. There’s no way to fully show it (even videos fall short), but below are similar close-up images of the plate before and after burnishing. The full plate after burnishing is the first image you saw in this post. Note below that along with reflective quality burnishing also changes the tone of the image to a cooler steel grey.

Collodion is a pure type of pyroxylin used to embed specimens which will be examined under a microscope.Ménard and Florès Domonte (1846) "Sur la pyroxyline" (On pyroxyline), Comptes rendus … , 23: 1187–1188. Dark tents to be used outdoors consisted of a small tent that was tied around the photographer's waist. Otherwise a wheelbarrow or a horse and covered wagon were used.

Collodion is a flammable, syrupy solution of nitrocellulose in ether and alcohol. There are two basic types: flexible and non-flexible. The flexible type is often used as a surgical dressing or to hold dressings in place. When painted on the skin, collodion dries to form a flexible nitrocellulose film. While it is initially colorless, it discolors over time. Non-flexible collodion is often used in theatrical make-up. Collodion was also the basis of most wet-plate photography until it was superseded by modern gelatin emulsions.Artist Hint: To create an old scar, use a medium brown pencil and lightly put color down the middle. Use a brush to spread and soften the color. To make a fresher scar, apply a pink color and then brush out. This will also eliminate any shine. EEG electrodes are commonly attached to the patient's scalp with rigid collodion for long-term treatment To my elation, the image came out rather well, though a bit overexposed and on the flatter side of contrast, but that’s explainable since fresh collodion always tends to be overly reactive and flat. Here it is being washed after development. Use the spatula to press and smooth out the edges until they meld into the skin, then use your spatula to create a gash in the wax to achieve a realistic looking cut.
