About Me and the casting processes
My background
Hello, I'm Gloria, I have been a life casting artist for 31 years (formally Maternity Keepsake) creating memorable sculptures for local families since 1995. I am known world-wide for my unique belly cast finish and décor ideas!
- I use medical grade casting products and products made from seaweed.
- I use my own preservatives for my unique belly cast finish (not plaster, it's too weak and cracks).
- If you have any questions, please feel free to message me here, I'm always available to chat!
Belly casting info
- Belly casts are best performed between 34-38 weeks with or without your bra. Undergarments are covered and protected.
- The belly casting process only takes 30 minutes and 2 weeks to complete.
- Belly casts can be preserved to last for generations and decorated to complement your nursery décor.
- If you have questions regarding belly casting kit instructions, I can help! If you think you want my help throughout the casting process, I charge $25.00 to do it the right way!
Newborn hands and feet castings
- Baby hands and feet castings are best performed between 2-8 weeks.
- Castings are quick and easy and two weeks to complete.
- Mounting plaques are available for an addition charge.
- I no longer cast babies over 5 months. They are very active during the casting process which distorts the molds.
