We decided to do a belly cast. While I was registering at BRU online, I saw the kits to do this. I then said to myself, "SELF! There has got to be a cheaper way of doing this than $35+tax AND s/h!" So I set out to explore the internet and find a more cost effective solution to our project at hand. VOILA! Found one. The lady that posted directions also posted alternatives. She said you could either go to a medical supply place to get the stuff, or just go to Michael's, like she did. HELLO! We went to Michael's. After all, it's only right down the street. It cost me $16 and some change to get all of the stuff we needed.


We did this last Friday (5 December), and it only took about 15 minutes before I was able to pull it off. UH, pull it off for Carl to try on and model!! Yes I was able to get a picture!

Here's where we are now. Still in the adding-a-little-plaster-for-stability stage. So far it was just to the inside, and it's been sanded. Next will be plaster to the outside so that it can be sanded and then decorated!! Of course that's the part I look forward to.


I'll update you guys with more as it comes!!
