Pregnancy Body Casting
In the comfort of your own home, I can come to you to create your pregnancy body cast. Your partner, family member or friend can also join in on the casting process, it’s a lot of fun!
Create a lasting memory of your pregnant belly; one that you can show your little one as they get older. It is also a way of honouring this precious time for yourself, and marvel at your own body’s capacity to grow a baby.
Using plaster bandages your body is layered up, creating a firm and strong cast. It can be a little rough on the outside, so I smooth it off with a plaster based finish. Once fully dried, you can then seal it and paint it if you wish, or use as a cast to pour a mix inside the body e.g.: concrete mix, to then create a strong mold. Or simply leave it as it is and use it as an art orconversation piece in your home.
Allow for approximately 2 1/2 hours for the process. Be prepared to get delightfully messy!
Breast Body Casting
Women who are facing breast surgery or a masectomy may like to have a ‘memory’ of how they were, prior to surgery. It is a tender time to face the reduction or loss of a breast or breasts.
It can be very healing and therapeutic to have a cast made, to be able to hold it, and see/feel what you look like, and to also support any natural grieiving you may go through. You have the opportunity to paint or decorate the cast at a later time, in honour of your changing body.
Pregnancy Body Cast
I was wanting to have a body cast done for my last pregnancy but couldn’t find anyone local who provided the offering. At the tail end of my second pregnancy I was delighted to discover Lisa was local and offered the casting service. Lisa came to my home and we had the casting completed, along with all the extra work Lisa does with the casting once its off, nailed within a morning. Lisa explained the process before she came and the whole experience was easy and comfortable....
... Lisa was such a delight to deal with. I now have a really unique, special reminder of my pregnancy to hang on the wall and show my little one once he is old enough to understand the changes my body went through in growing him. I’m so pleased I found Lisa to create this special piece of art for me.
