Lacking money and knowledge, i have begun my exploration of materials at Safeway. This is an experiment using a co-polymer sealant and PVA glue. Clearly the PVA glue would dissolve with water, something i did not bother to realise. The sealant, as well as hopefully being quite flexible, may just provoke distortion without the need to be filled with water. This would allow for many more interesting design possiblities. It is difficult to apply without being heavily textured, and while this texture may help distortion, it may end up distorting too heavily and inhibiting clarity. Next time, i will try to apply it using a knife dipped in turps. The last image is a result of auto colour correction in Photoshop, which is heavily reminiscent of the presence of pus in milk. And in my head, this looks like milk trying to be skin.

Apparently you can get brush-on clear silicone for mould making. When monetarily able, i will go and ask here about it.
