Using
our special "no mess, no stress" technique, a belly cast client enjoys a
private session of belly casting in her home or in our studio. No mess
means the process is clean and simple, without petroleum jelly or oils
used to gunk
up our client. No stress means our client enjoys a
relaxing experience, free of
the pressure of other special events or
having to entertain guests.
Clients may bring a friend to take
photos of her private belly casting session.

Basic

to a professional artist.
Our
artist conducts a phone consultation with the client to discuss her
ideas.
The
artist then emails a rendition of the client's idea for her
consideration and discusses any revisions before finalizing her fee***.
The
artist's fee and payment arrangements are negotiated and agreed upon, artist to client.
The
cast is delivered to the artist for completion of the artwork. Delivery shipping is NOT included in artist's fee.
The
cast is returned to the client via UPS shipping upon completion.
