Now you can memorialize your perfectly pregnant belly through Pregnancy Art. In researching the trend of self-made body art (see also male body casting) I found this amazing site that sells pregnant belly casting kits.
It costs about $40 and takes about 30 minutes. You have to slather yourself up and then apply plaster. When it dries you sand it down and then paint it with the pregnant belly painting kit (that’s an additional $20).
Women who make their casts are asked to send in their art work. There are some truly spectacular creations—from celestial & butterfly themes, to totally abstract hippy-style artwork and even soccer ball bellies!
