Belly Casting
There's really nothing else like it. Belly casting is tender, intimate and magical. A belly cast represents an eternal memory of pregnancy, the beginning of the relationship between mama and her baby. It's a precious and realistic way to preserve the most intimate time in the life of a woman and her child.

Mama's spend nine months looking down at their belly. They have a great view of the belly from above, and a good front view looking into a mirror. But nothing compares to being able to see the beauty of pregnancy from every angle.
Belly casting involves plaster gauze that is softened with water and then applied to Mama's torso over a layer of lubricant. When the bandages harden and the cast has set, it's easily removed and the belly cast is complete. A belly cast is most often hung on a wall, but it can also be displayed on a baby's dresser, or used to hold baby socks and toys. It can be decorated or left in its original state. Either way, it's beautiful!
A belly cast is one of the most accurate and realistic representations of pregnancy because it's 3-dimensional, unlike photographs or videos. It preserves the miracle of tranformation Mama's body has undergone to bring a new person into the world. Belly casting is a true representation of that miracle.
