I won the cast as a raffle prize from Mom is da Bomb! a mother's day event at Hissyfits - a local 2nd hand boutique on 7th street and Glendale. Scheduling issues had delayed the process. Luckily, I was only getting bigger while we tried figuring out a time that worked for both myself and Maggie of Bambina's Bellies.
My sister took pictures during the process, which was awkwardly done in my kitchen while roommates and family members cleaned the house around me in preparation for Saturday's party.
That's Crisco on my tummy, and cast water all over my legs... plus I'm not sure why I'm practically naked and still wearing socks?
I'm super happy with the results though!
She did an amazing job with the cast, and although I won a complimentary basic paint, I asked if she wouldn't mind me completing the project myself with a collage idea I had in mind. She was super sweet and provided me with some materials to complete the project on my own!
Now I just have to find time to actually collage the belly... when I do I'll post pictures, but for now the cast is waiting patiently in Baby's room.
Happy Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteI have a friend that used Bambinas Bellies for her belly cast and she couldn't of been happier with the results. The artwork was amazing!! She had hers designed and decorated to match the baby's nursery and the end result was beautiful. I was there while they made the cast of her belly and we had so much fun. Maggie, the artist, was so sweet and professional! I would recommend this idea to anyone that is pregnant. You will be thrilled with what Maggie can do with your belly cast!!
