Belly Casting


Got a growing baby bump and don't know what to do with it?  Make it into a work of art.

Pregnancy is one of the most exciting and unique times in a woman's life.  As her belly grows so does her love for her unborn baby. Once the baby is born, the feelings of having her baby secretly nestled away, all to herself, in the secure burrow of her belly fade all too soon.  By commissioning a professional belly cast, you will will enjoy a tangible way to hold on to those fleeting moments forever.

How to decorate with belly casts?
Full bust casts are tastefully and artistically done to be displayed as fine art.  Belly Bowls are the most popular casts and are perfect to display on any table filled with decorative balls or similar items. Belly Bowls can also used to create a unique Newborn portraits with your new baby laying snugly in your pregnant form.

When should you commission your belly cast?
Appointments are limited and should be reserved as soon as possible to guarantee availability.  If you are pregnant with your first child, I recommend scheduling your appointment 10-14 days before your due date.  If it is your second (or more) pregnancy, I recommend scheduling 2-3 weeks before your estimated due date.  If you are expecting twins or have had previous comoplications that may lead to an early delivery you may need to schedule even sooner.


What to expect?
The whole process takes approximately one hour from set up to clean up.  I use hospital grade, non-toxic, supplies that are safe for mama and baby.  Your cast will be left in my studio for 6-10 weeks so that it can be professionally reinforced and embellished with skillful painting. The end result is a transformation that displays a unique visual presentation of these special moments.
