Bronzed

1. This ProudBelly Cast was purposefully made with jagged edges. The desired effect was to be reminiscent of a Greek sculpture. After letting your ProudBelly Cast completely dry (usually for at least 24 hours), sand lightly with the sanding screen included in our kit.

2. Apply 1-2 coats of Gesso (acrylic priming paint) depending on how smooth you would like your ProudBelly Cast to be. Gesso is a product that you paint on to smooth out the ridges and prepare the surface for paint. You can find this product at any craft or home improvement store. Let dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Spray 2 coats of bronze paint onto the belly cast. Let dry completely between coats.

4. Add ribbon to hang if you desire. This type of cast would look great displayed by framing with black matting and having a spotlight shined on it.

5. This is a much cheaper alternative to having your ProudBelly Cast actually bronzed, which costs around $300.
