ChildCast™ Kit Examples:
This was done by widening just the top of the ChildCast™ can so it formed a flat bottomed taper. This allowed the fingers to wrap around the edge of the plastic box slightly.The box itself was sealed with tape so that it would displace water (the photo was put in later). This allowed a much larger looking LifeCast™ with the same materials (see Alternative & Advanced Techniques).
Cust life cast pictSince the box is smooth, symmetrical and no fingers overlapped the top, it could slide out of the hardened cement. I used a sponge to dab on the blue paint then glued the box back in place.
Dear Body Parts,This was so much fun! I did this hand 'print' (it actually sticks up from the surface about 2 inches) of my 4 year old in a Tupperwear® dish. I still have enough left over in my ChildCast kit for a couple more.I painted it gray and sprinkled it with gold powder I had (I do alot of crafts). Then I sprayed it with a clear coat. Its incredible, every fingerprint shows!
