The Fun and Mess of BELLY CASTING

Belly casting is an experience you will never forget

This is a wonderful way to honor and preserve your pregnant silhouette!!!!

There are Four basic forms.
1.  tummy only
2.  tummy and breast ( this is the favorite )
3.  tummy, breast and shoulder
4.  from shoulder to thighs ( full bust )

You can keep this experience for a life time. 

You just relax, we do the work and take the mess with us.
 First we put down tarps on the floor and on the chair.  We make sure your comfortable with pillows, or if your standing we prop you against the wall.  Then we help you spread a thick layer of Vaseline on every part of skin that will come in contact with the casting material.   Now it is time for you to relax and for us to go to work.  We work fast and smoothly to make your cast.   Only about 15 minutes for the casting time.   You stay still 15 more minutes while the cast hardens.  We carefully remove it and place it some place out of the way for one week to completely dry.  The whole process takes less than an hour.  All thats left to do is decorate it!
After the casting we take the mess with us!

THIS SERVICE IS FREE

Your only cost is for materials         $50.00

What to do with your Belly Cast

 After we have finished your casting, set it in a safe place to dry undisturbed for 1 week or longer. When you are ready to decorate the cast, lightly sand it with either very fine sand paper or a fine screen. Remember to be very gentle! Whatever you plan to do with the cast make sure that you use a multi-purpose Sealer that is used on all types of surfaces including plaster. You may need to seal it several times.(You can find the sealer at Michaels, Joann's, or one of the home centers). Then it is ready for you to paint or decorate however you want.
Let your imagination run wild.
