Plaster sculpture

In the making of it . :b

So i've been talking about this plaster sculpture of my stomach like forever now - and today we started doing it . I didn't do it alone of course , that would've been pretty impossible hehe . I invited my good friend Henriette over to help me do it . She's really creative & great at making special sculptures and very different art like this kind . And i'm so glad that she's good at it - cause GOOOOD it took lots of patience & time to do this . We used what like 2½ hour on the making of this sculpture - and it's not even done yet !

To give all you guys a short kind of "recipe" on how to do this - we used something called plaster gauze in rolls . And then it's just a question about covering the whole torso if you want to do it like me . :b 
Tomorrow i'm going to the shopping mall FIELDS to buy some liquid plaster to correct the uneven parts so it'll be all flat . You can also choose to use the liquid plaster directly on the body to make this , but unless you know how to use it DON'T DO IT since it can cause burns . 
And last but not least i just need to aligning the edges & either paint - or spray'paint it with a metallic paint , either gold , silver or cobber but i haven't choosed what yet . It depends on the rest of our furnitures & the room . :b

The result so far - and with a pumpkin head haha . :b

So as you guys can hear - i'm far from done with the making of this sculpture , but when it's done i know it'll be great . I got the idea like 10 years ago , i saw it at a friends house . Her mom did one for every 3 pregnancies , and ever since i've known that i wanted to make one too when i got pregnant . :b
