OREGON MOM CREATES PREGNANT BELLY CASTING KIT

BEAVERTON, Ore. (Wireless Flash) -- Pregnant bellies are becoming art thanks to a mom in Oregon who's created a casting kit for big bellies. Susan Fichter's "Pregnant Belly Impression Kit" contains two sheets of plaster bandages which pregnant ladies are supposed to wrap around their blooming bellies. After the cast hardens, you're supposed to "decoupage" it with decorative baby images and mount it on the wall. The 8-months-pregnant Fichter says the belly mold isn't just a keepsake of your pregnancy -- it's also a good luck charm which should be rubbed like Buddha's belly. She'll debut the $49.95 kit next week at American Baby's Baby Faire in Los Angeles where she'll make molds of volunteers' bellies.
