  1. Good work Keree.... some more links to all the blood recipes you found and some images also of some examples would also be good.

    I haven't had a chance yet to check on this blog but please make the effort to keep it up to date. Some more reflections on your research and the rehearsals and actual shooting that is taking place now would be good.
