Belly Cast

I kind of had some fun and made a belly cast this time around.  It came out pretty lumpy from the gauze bunching up a bit as I made it.  Jess said get some help while doing it, but I was impatient and made it myself, so now I deal with that.

Since it wsn't sanding down, I decided to put some spackle on it to smooth it down a different way.

I've been sanding away at it between coats and I think it's finally smooth enough to paint.  Abby wants to help and every time she sees me sanding, she asks if she can paint it yet.  That should be fun, but I keep making her wait until it's dry and sanded -- and every time I think I'm done, I see one last thing I want to fix on it.

It was a bit odd taking a sanding block to my boobs but that part of the cast also needed to be just as smooth as the rest or it would have looked REALLY odd.  Ha ha!!!

Marti jokes that I have to paint it realistic colors after all this work.  I joke that I'm going to paint the boob part in a black and white cow print and then let Abby paint the belly whatever she wants to do it as.

Either way, I don't really know what it will look like or why I made it.  It was just for kicks, so no matter how it turns out, it will have been fun.

Oh, I forgot one little detail.  When I was making it, I put a clear plastic tarp down in the bathroom to catch any slop.  Marti came home right after I'd finished, and although it was only white plaster slop, he still said it looked like a crime scene in our bathroom.  I have to admit, it did make quite a drippy, plastery mess!
