Pregnant women are often told they are at their most beautiful when they are expecting. And, of course, their bump is protecting very precious cargo.

And now they can preserve the image of their bump for posterity as a pair of British bodycasters launch a company offering sculptures of baby bumps for women to keep forever.

Sculptor couple CJ Munn and Andre Masters, both 40 from Maidstone in Kent, use special effects make-up to help make the bumps, and their intricate designs range from blue and white florals painted like china, to stone sculptures studded with mirrors or a more traditional bronze.



The couple worked in television and film before they started creating the baby-bump casts as a hobby for friends.

Speaking about the casts, which can be rendered in traditional plaster, more elaborate stone and even bronze, Andre said: 'We believe our belly casts are some of the most beautiful in existence in the world.


'Coming from such diverse creative backgrounds we work in so many different materials and we love being challenged to try new things.

'So what you'll see in our pictures is that every single belly cast we make is unique and utterly special to the owner of that piece.

'We love really personal requests where people will have us engrave or paint a piece with personal symbols or patterns - perhaps inspired by something to do with their home or family heritage.



The casts can be rendered in traditional plaster, more elaborate stone and even bronze. You like the idea...?
