How we make the arms.
Our process for creating the arms is first creating a mold casting of a persons arm of their choice out of alginate.
Then after the alginate settles, we then pour quick setting plaster into the mold to create a one-to-one recreation of the persons arm. After that, the person decorates their arm as they see fit.
Lastly, they are coated in a thin coat of glaze to seal in the paint.
