Belly Casting for Expectant Moms |
|
A pregnancy belly cast is a plaster casting made of an expectant mom's beautiful pregnant belly. A one of a kind cast is best done between the 34th and 38th week of pregnancy. The mold is usually done over the belly including the breasts and/or hands, but can be adjusted for more or less coverage to suit client. This process usually takes around ½ hour to 50 min. to complete. The studio sitting is completely private and a friend or relative to bring along is encouraged – especially if you would like a photo documentation.

Non-toxic belly
lubricant is applied to skin as mom relaxes in a chair. If mom
prefers to wear a bra, this can be covered with cellophane.
Layers are applied until a strong cast results. Within the hour
the cast will be hardened and removed, mom can clean up and
ready to go.
Then the studio work will begin. Cast then will be treated with an additional smoothing layer of casting plaster and gesso. The last magical step is the artwork which can be tailored to your taste. It can be one color, antiqued, or a custom paint design to fit your nursery or display area. Final stage is the resin coating which gives the artwork a ceramic look.
