Baby J is 8 months old now and finally the fibreglass belly we made of his in-utero days is finished and on the wall. Master N has done a fantastic job. For a long time we were unsure of how to finish it or mount it, but a bright lick of aqua paint, a rich timber frame and a summer string bikini has captured both Baby J’s personality and our lifestyle at the time it was made. I love it.
We made it by covering my preggo belly first with silicon and then with plaster bandage. I had to stand around in the summer heat for too long for the plaster to dry and when we finally tried to remove the silicon we found all my tiny tummy hairs had stuck and it would not come off. We removed the plaster and I stood in the shower to try and remove the silicon – first a little by little and then like many many super stuck bandaids. Finally it was off and I was free minus a little layer of skin. Ouch.
Master N made a fibreglass shell from the silicon/plaster mould and there you have it. Worth it in the end!
Interesting stuff mate.

Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more from this post. I’m very glad to see such excellent information being shared freely out there.

Hi! I just came across this, and absolutely love it! I’m wondering though, how is the cast mounted onto the frame? I love how it looks as though it’s floating.
