I don't think the blood effect remains on the item after you take it - I think it's a texture specific to the cell, or something. Could be wrong, though.

On a similar note, if I hadn't been in such a hurry to post this guide, I might have also listed where you can find Objects of Unusual Size, and how to use them. The Bard's College is a good place to start - just about every generic item in there is a larger or smaller version of its original self. The Shatter-Shield house in Windhelm has an array of giant and tiny wine bottles, you can find giant kettles in the first area of Ilinalta's Deep, and so on.

Unfortunately (and surprise surprise) patch 1.6 or so kinda mutated the concept of OoUS - when you initially drop them from your inventory, they won't look any different, but after you exit and reenter the cell they should return to their altered size. Another post-patch problem is that you can't have multiple OoUS's of the same item type in your inventory at once without some of them losing their altered status permanently. Still, the patch didn't destroy the concept, it just made it more inconvenient.

And like in all past games, most of the time the OoUS will lose its size if you pick it up a second time and re-drop it - so once you drop it from your inventory the first time, try to avoid picking it up again.

Beauty part is that, given the game's awesome respawn feature, you can get limitless copies of most OoUS's you find.

The Hearthfire mannequins dupe generic armor - I too have duped Ancient Falmer Armor, but could not dupe unique items like Gilded Wristguards and the Jagged Crown. Downside is that these mannequins will destroy any self-made enchantments and smithing boosts on generic armor, so don't place any such apparel on them for display (unique relics / apparel like say, Yngol's Helm are unaffected).

Haven't actually tried duping on vanilla-house mannequins post-patch.

I've never had problems with any plaques or racks in general, just specific items. Deathbrand's twin scimitars are painfully buggy for decoration, for example.

One problem people might be running into with weapon racks is that they will sometimes not work if other self-placed items are touching them or are close enough to cause a glitch; move or pick up any items around the plaques and see if that helps.

*still needs a Dibella statue and amulet for the bedroom*

The former can be found (respawning, i.e. infinite copies) at both Riftweald Manor and Brinewater Grotto. I'm pretty sure there's a fixed location somewhere for a Dibella Amulet (check the wiki); barring that, pickpocket one off Haelga with Perfect Touch and fence it, or try buying one at Radiant Raiments.
