belly molds/nceca

Hi John, Mel, James, Lili, and anyone else,



The 'Belly Molds' w-o-u-l-d be a nice relaxing respite from the otherwise
hectic and harried
forays, dull thigh-knumbing foldingchair lectures, and the tendency for
saity and-then-some
with the wider hoy-puh-loy and sights-n-sounds
of the Show.

Too, the Clayart Room could also offer a 'Baby gotst Back' Molding service
in
addition to the Belly-Mold one.

And, could even offer a 'Twofer'!



Probably various orders of lightly re-inforced Ferro-Cement method, over a
careful layer
of Plaster, would
work well for
this and would allow a more durable-transportable result, AND, one which
would invite
entertaining Press Molding re-creations of the original shapes, to
be done later.


Convenient and comfortable pro-tem prosthetic 'Belly' or 'Back' ( or both )
could even be provided
for use in the Molding procedure, for those who do not bring their own God
Given one(s), but who wish to be in on the action anyway!


The 'casts' of course would also be great for later use as single or
double Fish habitat/Ponds for
exotic Gold Fish/Carp or Catfish Species, Sea Horses, Anemone, Eels or
Piranha or as one please,
or as conveniently
scaled drinking Ponds for the Neighborhood Cats, Sheeps, Ibex or Weimeriner=
s
of one's inner city Project, Apartment, Condo, Home, Farm, Industry or
other...

...or, could also work well as
urban Bathing invitationals for
whatever medley of Migratory or other Wild Birds...or just left to sit
outdoors, and to collect Rain, would be just
dandy for breeding
Mosquitos and Algaes and even Lotuses and or hatchling-to-juvenile Crocodil=
e
and so on, depending on one's area,
too!

Nothing like a practical and durable 'Keep Sake' from an 'Nceeeeekeeeee'! -
say Eye...

Could even have little Rubber 'Wheels' on an Axel on one end, layed in to
the Casting, to make 'em
easier to wheel around through the Airports!




Love,

Phil
L v

Well, if this isn't an incentive for me to make it to my first NCECA, I
don't know what else could be. I suppose I could drive from Georgia and
save the $56.95 by taking my home with me instead of shipping.

Can you still get a mold take if you just look like you're preggers? Shoul=
d
we prepare navel waivers?

Doesn't this involve belly hair getting yanked out by the roots? I'm
already bald on top!

I am surprised no moms have mentioned this, but a prego belly is NOT
inanimate...it is more like
a monkey swimming in a big water balloon. Unless you catch the fetus when i=
t
is sleeping,
it is not likely to sit still and behave for a casting....just my opinion
based on my
mom experience
