Belly Casting: 


Many moms are wishing to document their pregnancy in a unique way, and belly casting gives them this option. Late in the 3rd trimester (when the belly is nice and big!!!) the belly and breasts are coated with sheets of plaster to create a life-sized mold of the mother's pregnant body! After the mold dries, she can decorate it, (paint it, write on it, etc) and display it in the nursery, or wherever she chooses, to remind her of the other beautiful body she wore temporarily. 


Basic Plaster Cast, Smooth Plaster Cast, Ceramic Belly Bowls, and Belly Baskets available. 


I am also available to do personalized art on ANY Belly Cast, done by me or not.


$100-$300 (price depends on client ideas and materials needed)
