Thread: Bleeding Tombstone

Tweet

We had a make and take here in Florida the end of May and we began Bleeding Tombstones. I just completed MY project and wanted to show it off. Being a girlie girl ...thought it was a pretty easy project once I got into it.

just some FYI info: Its a typical Bleeding tombstone. But for people that haven't seen one before.
Foam Tombstone designed with a base to hide "well" .
( double thickness of pink foam for the stone part - single thickness for the base)
In base of tombstone I used a" plaster" tray for the well of blood.
It is a couple inches deep and long.
Can take more detailed pics of outside and inside if anyone is interested.
Harbor Freight sells small fountain or aquarium pumps for around $15.00
clear air tubing
a multi air outlet....can be found at the fish store. ( you can see it on the back of the tombstone )
Drylock the entire piece ...and faux finished and embellished.

I used Beet Juice for the "blood" test run.

Cool! Not bad for a "girly girl"!

Love it, great job. What type of pump did you use?

Nicely done! Love the shape and detailing on the stone! Pumping blood makes it that much better!

[ ooops never posted a vid before. 2nd one was suppose to be a vid.

ooops that didn't work either.

sorry.


oh and thank you !

fantastic tombstone!

wow that is awesome, i'll have to try that as it would look great in my graveyard scene, i hope it looks great in yours

I like the inscription, too! Perfect! I got a small fountain with a pump for $3 at the flea market this spring and didn't want to run the electricity out to the front yard for it, and didn't know what to do with it! Now I do! I think the motto of this forum should be "never throw anything out!!"

You got mad skills!

Looks great, CFQ! Nice job indeed!!
