by Manuela Lollenbeck

Discover the joy of genital casting. Manuela's manual demonstrates how to make a plaster sculpture of a vulva.  This is a complete and well illustrated instruction manual showing how to make in a few steps a highly realistic, solid and durable representation of the vagina; a unique, personal, sensuous and very unusual ornament. The book will take the reader through all the steps necessary to complete the project, starting with a brief overview through to detailed instructions.

The method she describes is safe, quick, easy and inexpensive and the resulting artwork is absolutely fascinating of realism, the faithful portrait of a vulva. This is a fun and sexy project for playful couples.

To illustrate her book Manuela has asked two good friends to cast each other's vulva under her guidance while she was taking photographs of the whole procedure.

How is this done? The procedure is quick, safe, comfortable and easily achievable at small expenses and minimum tools and materials. An alginate or silicone rubber mix is applied directly over the model's skin. A plaster bandages shell is then constructed over this first layer. When everything has set, just 10 minutes later, the mold is removed from the model and a batch of liquid plaster or other casting material is cast into it.

Where to buy the alginate? What kind of alginate to buy? How much to buy? Why cotton wool? Is the water cold or hot? How thick the alginate mold should be? How many layers of plaster bandages are needed? How much plaster to mix? How thick the plaster cast should be? Manuela's manual will answer and explain all this and give many more tips and hints to ensure that the project is a success at the first attempt.

What does the manual cover? The book covers everything you need to know including a step by step illustrated set of instructions which will allow you to make a successful casting. The book also tells you what to buy, how much to buy and where to buy it from. This will save you much money over buying a kit.

"I hope that you will find it useful, entertaining and well worth the few dollars I am selling it for." Says Manuela
