My primary concern in developing the BODY PARTS^â„¢ LifeCastâ„¢ Kit was safety. Not theoretical but actual. After all I created it, at first, just to teach my children (4 and 7 at the time) a few things about art and have some fun at the same time.

The portion which comes in contact with the skin is made exclusively from food and pharmecuetical grade chemicals or inert clays which are frequently used in the food and cosmetic industries. The purest available! See our Material Safety (MSDS) in Support.

Within the context of art materials, they also had to be pleasant to work with, nearly foolproof, inexpensive and allow even beginners to produce quality results. As I discovered on my very first attempt with my 4 year old and many thousands of people have discovered since, we succeeded!

This was in 1986-87. I had so many requests from other parents to do LifeCasts^â„¢ of their kid's hands (and from adults for other parts of the anatomy) that my studio was filled with other people's body parts. Ergo the name, BODY PARTS^â„¢ The ORIGINAL LifeCast^â„¢ Kit.

The product was formally introduced in 1989. This is a photograph from that weekend at the Del Amo Fashion Square in Torrance, California where the crowds became so huge that the fire department broke them up!

A few months later we attended the National Art Materials Trade Association (NAMTA) show in San Francisco, CA where the LifeCast^â„¢ kit received the Best New Product of the Year Award.

Two months later at the International Invention Convention In Anahiem, CA the BODY PARTS^â„¢ kit again took top honors as the Best Novelty Invention of the year.

Several months of wild customer enthusiasm followed. I appeared on such TV shows as "L.A. In The Morning", "Sun-Up San Diego", etc. The kit was the subject of many newspaper and magazine articles (even Playboy®) and we introduced the ChildCast^™ kit just for kids then later, the popular StudioPack^™ for the classroom. View the videos in the Products section.

The following year it was awarded the Best New Craft Product of the year at the enormous Hobby Industry Association trade show in Dallas, TX.

Many improvements have been made since then, including the larger 20th anniversary version! Many thousands of people around the world have since been introduced to this fascinating, unique art.
