Presentation
All casts are prepared and delivered as a wall hanging with ribbon.

Jett Hiibner

This belly cast was the first experiment using plaster in 2002, then decorated with flowers and warm colors for a baby girl. Loving quotes were written between the graphics and baby's name.

Wade Hiibner

Dark colors and snowflakes represent a long winter of pregnancy. This baby boy's older sister put her hand prints on the belly as part of the design.

Danika Brandorff

I wanted this to be really feminine and the color scheme is based on the leafy-green color of the baby's nursery walls. In the center of each flower is a rhinestone for some extra bling!

Devin Himes

The design for this is based on the drawings of Gustav Klimt. The mother is a petite gal with incredible strengh so I wanted this to be womanly yet bold. The swirls and flowers soften the dramatic colors fit for a first baby boy.

Sienna Himes

LIke her brother, this design is based on the drawings of Gustav Klimt. Pastel colors intertwined with gold swirles are the female counterpart to the earlier cast.

Gus Olson

This playful and fun cast is based on "Puff the Magic Dragon" with the following script written by the dragon's head "Little Gus loved that rascal Puff, they frolicked and played with toys, but a dragon stays young forever, not so little boys".

Reed Davidson

Baby Reed has a beautiful cast with a background of mysterious and flowing lavendar floral shapes surrounding bright, big flowers. The top layer is a pattern of dainty silver glitter swirls winding their way around the mother's shape.

Rhiannon Adkins

This cast complements the personality of the mom, who embraces all that is positive in life and shares that energy with others. Life is good, life is FUN - the orgins of this design are taken from costumes of a cabaret dancer.

Zane Towner

This cast was given to me when the child was 5 years old. The mom and dad did the casting before birth. I reinforced the original plaster shell and decorated with the characters from "Where the Wild Things Are". I wanted to create something that a 5-yr old boy would like hanging in his bedroom. There is script on the bottom minicing the storyline of the book.

Aubrey Farnum

A river motif was a great solution for parents who relish in Alaska waters for work and joy. Between whitewater kayaking and remote fly fishing, little Aubrey will have a life full of adventure.

Annalisa Wray

Bright, bold colors and a dynamic flower pattern graphically mimic the surrounding Arizona landscape where Annalisa lives. LIke a vase of flowers, this design will brighten any room... and last longer!

Fisher James Lajoie

Creative direction was provided by Fisher's mom, who is intrigued by the ocean. Soft, wet paint was applied for the background colors creating a layering effect hiding swirls, starfish and sea fauna. The top layer exposes fun, playful creatures.

Mia Stiassny

A spring birth for this baby girl inspired an enchanted garden design. Flowers, swirls and more flowers!

Isabella Bartow

This cast was sanded and covered with a glossy white paint, then sprayed with a layer of silver spray glitter. Once dry, strands of pearls were attached to the surface in elegant swirl patterns.
