I have been trying for awhile now to get a realistic looking umbilical cord. Well I think I may have found the method that I think comes close. Please let me know what you think. The top 2 pics are real that were posted earlier of a new born. Thanks so much for the great pictures. The rest are what I put together. I need to add magnets and do some more painting. But the dry skin look was what I was going for. They are very flexible and I painted them GHSP. This is just my frost a temp.

Yes thank you so much for the pictures they helped a lot. I can make tnem as long as I want no molding , pouring. Also I think I can make my own skin stamps.

How did you make the cord? It looks great! I’ve been sculpting them out of clay but they don’t look quite as good

There is no sculpting. It is liquid latex.
Interesting! I’d love a tutorial if you’d be able to, it looks great!

I’ve watched videos in the past on making umbilical cords. Brought everything, but haven’t tried it yet.

Holy CROW that’s liquid latex? I’ve never in my life thought to apply it in any way to reborning, but that cord looks AWESOME.
