Want a belly cast? Do it yourself!
My belly cast article has been very popular. In fact it continues to get the most traffic of any single article in my blog. Belly casts are the ultimate in originality ~ every pregnant body is different and beautiful. Add to that, custom artwork. What better way to remember that special time in your life?? In my original article I posted a link to Massage-ology where Angela will do your cast for you. It can run $200+ for a cast to be finished (joint compound, sanding, then painting).

I wanted to offer you a less expensive option. Belly cast kits. I now sell them through my on-line store for $38 shipped. If you’re local (Surprise/Phoenix AZ) and would like to pick it up yourself call me for a discount @ 602-885-8762.

My prices for painting a belly cast are quite reasonable, usually $40 – $100. And if you’re not local I’m sure you can find an artist in your neck of the woods with reasonable prices also…or you can give it a try yourself.
Good luck…and if you do try it let me know how it goes!

Pregnant? How about a Belly Cast?
For this cast, I was asked to make a henna tattoo design of a peacock for the belly with some flowers added. After a little research, I had the client choose a picture of a design she liked from some that I found online. From there I drew up my own design and did a little experimenting for the background. Below is what I came up with.
