New Practice Belly!

I've been dying to try belly painting, but 1.) I don't know anyone that is pregnant & 2.) wanted to practice before I ask a random stranger to be my model. I saw some maternity forms on another site that were around $40. I did a google search to see if I could find them cheaper anywhere else.

I happened on a company that supplies store fixtures, fashion forms, etc. The maternity forms are on clearance for $5.49! I ordered two. The shipping was not as cheap as I had hoped (around $21), but I got two forms for right at $30. I ordered them yesterday, and they were delivered to the office where I work today!

I can't wait to start practicing!

P.S...I dunno why this picture is showing up sideways!

Can you post a link to the website where you bought them. I've been looking for cheaper ones for quite some time.

No problem! It was storesupply.com & the direct maternity form link is...

They also have other forms, etc. that would probably be great to practice body painting with.

YES! store supply warehouse is awesome! I used them all the time when i had my maternity lingerie store. I still have my black preg manniquin.. i never thought to practice painting on it because i didnt think the paint would stick to the doll. i guess i should try it and see how it works out lol.

How well do they clean up??

That looks a lot like the ones they were selling at FABAIC....

FYI, if you're looking for bellies, I've been contacting all the birthing centers, facebook slamming & asking at parties. I'm offering the 1st 4 bellies of the year for free, just to get some more photos. I'm not sure how or if it'll work, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

...and how did the people at your work react to them?
