BelliVita pregnancy bowls are headed to Hollywood: But they need your help
Mon, 09/29/2014
After working at what may be the most singular craft you can imagine West Seattle's Laura Marie Peters is finally hitting the big time. Peter's business BelliVita, casts molds from the bellies of pregnant women then casts them as beautiful glass or porcelain recreations of that unforgettable time in a woman's life.
Now she's going to the Golden Globes next January in Los Angeles. Her work with more than one film star (who asked not to be identified) in tinseltown garnered the invitation.
The presence at the event however is not free. While only very few vendors are allowed they still have to pay to be part of it. Peters made the initial investment of $1000, which allows her to put gift certificates into the gift bags handed out to all the celebrities and media.
But to have a table in the Golden Globes Secret Room Gifting Suite will cost $5000.
Peters has started a GoFundMe project to help her raise the additional funds needed for this larger opportunity: http://www.gofundme.com/BelliVita
A table in the suite would let her display her bowls, and chat face to face with celebrities and other influential people about her business.
Families commission these “belly bowls” as a commemorative keepsake and heirloom.
The can be displayed as a dining table centerpiece, hung on the wall as art, or filled with a shells, flowers or fruit to match a home’s décor.
BelliVita has been featured in the West Seattle Herald, on KING5’s New Day television show, on KING5’s Evening Magazine, and in major national parenting blogs, websites and magazines.
