My SIL is interested in having me do a belly cast for her, but it has to be 'organic'...so my question is, is there an 'organic' way to do belly casting? or is it already OK?...


hmmmm...



TIA

or newspaper like traditional paper mache, or guaze. I did my belly cast with plaster of paris gauze from the arts and crafts store, but i don't see why newspaper with wheat paste wouldn't work. just make sure to do it soon enough that if it doesn't work you can try something else (and not already have the baby and less belly yk)
