What is it made of?
Original designs are made out of plaster (extracted from
the alginate mold). Other materials such as bronze, fiberglass, hydrostone,
and resin can be developed from the original plaster
casting. These are all possible for a lasting finished
work of fine art. What can I cast?
You cast the belly or the belly and breasts. You can
choose to have your hands/arms included to touch or hold
your belly. There is a variety of choices to choose from,
you can get some ideas from the
photo gallery.
When should I cast?
To capture your belly at maximum size, most women wait
til later in the pregnancy, 7th to 8th month. You can also
make a series of casts to catch your belly a growing sizes.
Who can be there with me?
If you choose to have it done at my location, you can
have 1 adult with you at the time of casting. Sorry no
children if being done on my premises. Otherwise at
your location you may have who you wish.
What is the price? Prices range
from $500 up to $3500 or more depending on which part you
want cast, and the material chosen for the final piece. Can I wear clothing? Yes, if you wish, bare skin
makes the best belly cast, although you can wear a bra above
and underwear below the casting area if you desire.
How is payment made? A non-refundable $300 deposit is
due upon reserving a date for your casting. The balance is
due on the day of casting. Payments
can be made through pay pal account. How long does it
take to get the final piece? Project times run from
three to four weeks following body casting session.
More time is needed for specially designed and bronze pieces. |
