If you love that classic pregnant pose with your hands caressing your belly, then this kit is for you. Although this mask is a little more complicated than the original bellymasks, using my instructions and materials and a bit of patience, it does take 1 _ hours, you will have a beautiful memory of holding your beautiful full belly, the vessel for your baby within.

All of the materials and complete step by step and illustrated instructions are included to create a full torso bellymask with your hands and arms on your belly. You can count on my very supple yet strongest bellycasting plastergauze for this larger and more detailed bellymask.

This kit provides you with generous amounts of bellymasking material, maximizing your ability to wrap around the expectant mother's sides, to capture a more complete 3 dimensional sculpture.

My comprehensive instructions are easy to follow, step by step, and fully illustrated. You will follow the same technique that I have perfected, and use to this day, as a professional bellymasker. Everything you will ever need to know about making a bellymask is included: setting up your space, casting, shaping, gessoing, porcelain smooth surfacing, decorating ideas, and how to hang your mask.

The Un-Petroleum Jelly serves as a release material so your bellymask can easily be removed from your body when finished. Just as its name states, it contains No Petroleum Products! I have taken great care in providing you with the healthiest products available. Research shows that materials including petroleum by-products are absorbed through one's skin and can be unhealthy. Perhaps a little more expensive than Vaseline, but well worth it.

A 16 oz. jar of Gesso (an artist's quality priming paint and protectant for your bellymask) along with a bristle brush, are included. After you apply the gesso to your bellymask you will be guaranteed an heirloom quality sculpture which will remain as beautiful as the day it was made, for generations to come.

A very special nurturing material found within the Deluxe Kit is a yummy chocolate orange scented salt scrub for your pleasure in the shower, following your bellymasking. Handmade from cocoa butter, sea salt and essential oils of orange and chocolate, you will love the way it makes your skin feel and smell and it will remind you, throughout the day, of the joyful experience you had creating your bellymask.

Also included are several inspirational color photographs that women just like you have painted and embellished as a tribute to their journey through pregnancy. Even unpainted, a bellymask with hands and arms is already beautifully adorned with your loving embrace.

A reproduction of the poem, "Chant For Transition", will touch your heart and help to empower you to be strong through your birth experience.

All of these materials are beautifully and lovingly presented within a gift quality package that you will be proud to give and happy to receive.
