Bellycasting

A pregnancy belly cast is a plaster cast made of the mother's belly towards the end of her pregnancy. After the belly cast is done, I will reinforce it, sand it and paint it with a white basecoat. I will deliver it to you when it is ready to be decorated.

Bellycasting prices are $50 for just the belly, $60 for belly and breasts, and $70 for belly, breasts, and hands. Contact me here for more information.
