Electrical Rack

I built this a few years back, but it wasn't something I could keep in the living room. It gave me a great ride when I tried it out (not yet up to posting a picture of me on it, but maybe one day) but sad to say, I never used it on anyone else, and disassembled it soon afterwards.

My apology for the poor quality of the picture - it's a snapshot from a video with the camera in a fixed position. The metal strap is set upside down - it will be fastened the other way up around the "victim's" torso. It spread my legs rather satisfyingly with the air cylinders while the anal plug...

ps - be super careful with electrical play.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Can you share the specs for that?

 

[bondanon]

Sure...

once I find my specs. They got caught in the chains.

You're supposed to take them off before engaging in strenuous activity...

 

[bondanon]

I'll remember to do that next time

Oh, THAT'S why the harness gag was so damn difficult to get right.

But seriously, anyone (even you, Stella) who really wants more information about this, I'll be glad to oblige (OK to PM me if you prefer). I didn't make a lot of drawings ahead of time, but I did give quite a bit of thought to it. One simple piece of advice - put the air compressor in another room - the noise is anything but erotic!

And, be sure to browse this entire thread - It only takes a few minutes. There are some really delightful things to see.

And - be safe.

RedMonkeyButt, a very nice post on your Chain Male jewelery. I love the byzantine, it is such a complicated looking weave. The copper Jens Pind Linkage bracelet looks great. It is a little hard to see but the weave is Aspect Ratio is tight as is required with that weave. The closures look spot on. Very good craftsmanship and pretty jewelery.

Byzantine is one of the easiest weaves, too. I actually prefer not to make it if I have a choice. I just didn't have the choice with those rings. They were too loose for a decent cube, and Euro gets boring really fast unless it's micro. Thanks for the compliments I left out pictures of my earlier maille on purpose because the closures were really, really bad. LOL

A quick story about the 12g copper JPL chain wife made for me. When I first made the rings they were 7.5mm and the weave was loose and sloppy. The next batch were 7mm and the weave tightened up very nicely and looks great. Who would have thought a lousy half a millimeter would have made that much difference. (LOL)

I believe it. I love JPL because it's so finicky, but since I don't make my own rings it gets difficult to find suppliers with the right sizes. I've seen one that was made with lock washers, but the guy couldn't remember the size he used. I wanted to try it and see how it looked in person even though the picture of the piece he made with them looked awesome. I can only imagine how it looks at that size.

I apologize for not responding to your PM. I recently got paid and shopping, Dr.s appt etc. got in the way. I will get back to you.

Don't worry about it. I haven't been home for a solid day in over a week. This is the first time I've been able to get online since that message.

So I entered a national sewing contest very Project Runway inspired.

The contest rules stipulate that you have to use "utility fabric" in a non-traditional way.

I have my entry pictured. I did a dress with (of course) a corset bodice. The bodice is made of duck cloth (very thick canvas like) and the circle skirt is made of bag fabric (that papery fabric that those reusable shopping bags are made of). Then I hemmed the skirt using the duck cloth and trimmed the top of the bodice using the bag fabric so it all just flows together.

I'm so excited by how it turned out!

I really would like to win this, but I'm just happy with myself for trying.

 

[Stella_Omega]

I am continually being re-impressed with your sewing skills, Wenchie

Not only that, but your skills get better each time you post!

That's gotta be adorable on...

Awe shucks, Stella.

I'm 100% self taught, so learning from my mistakes is a necessity. I'm also a major perfectionist, so if something doesn't turn out just right, I work and work until it is, or as close as I can get it. In fact, I'm looking at this dress now and seeing things I would do differently on the next one.

I'm afraid to try it on yet. Finalists have to send the actual project in, so I don't want to risk tearing it, but I have to admit, I'm antsy to take this baby out myself!

The shape is gorgeous, too!

Very retro. I'm so in love with it!

Thanks ladies. I'm glad to know others find this piece as promising as I do.

Very nice! I love it, never really thought duck cloth could look that cute!

 

[NikiCole]

Ok, so I am in complete heaven with this thread.... so many pretty ideas. I just about went nuts with the clothing yall.

Does anyone know where to get or how to make a cheap dress form?

 

[the captians wench]

Very nice! I love it, never really thought duck cloth could look that cute!

Thank you.

I never would have used duck cloth on the outside if it weren't for this contest, but it really does have its own charm here.

The dress is still on the dummy in my bedroom and the more I sit here and look at it the more I fall in love with it, and even with the "mistake" that when I first found I thought I would change. I might have to find an excuse to wear this some where!

 

[the captians wench]

Okay, I have a problem I've been stewing over for a few weeks or so.

I have an Elizabethan dress in my closet that I started, oh 6 years ago, and finished 3 years ago. I wasn't happy with it when I finished it because I had gained so much more skill in those 3 years, and parts of it showed. Now it's been another 3 years, and I can't even bring myself to post it because it is just no where near what my other pieces are.

I thought about ripping it apart and doing parts over, or ripping it apart and re-using the fabric. Both ideas are not really jumping at me as great. I also thought about putting it on Ebay or Criegslist and maybe selling it as an "oops!" piece. The fabric is worth a good $150-$200, but I'm just not sure that I could sell it for that.

So what do you all suggest? If you need pictures to decide I can post some.

I would love to see pics of it!

With your level of skill, I think your best bet will be eBay! What I've found is if you start the bidding low enough for everyone to be able to get a chance at winning, it garners a larger response!

I was attempting to attach said picture when I was told that it is already here *giggles* And it looks like I was frusterated with it then too.

If you can't link to this, I've got another one to try. I'm at the mercy of these sites and your ability to play their widgets, so I can only hope one works. I hope you like this. I can explain how it's done, if you want to know more.

So very moving and so terribly beautiful! You are so talented! Thank you so much for sharing this!

 

[DVS]

Thanks a lot, you two. Maybe I should have started a new thread with this. This isn't really a craft, as crafts go. I could make a nice book case and put some pretty oak stain on it. Actually, I do intend on doing that, when I get the money for wood.

I already had this posted, so I just decided to link it. I know it can sometimes put people to sleep. Shit, just my talking can sometimes put people to sleep, so that's nothing new.

Thanks, again!

Ever hear of "arts and crafts?" They go together. That is art. It belongs here.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Okay, I finally can share this;

ignore the hair, and the guitar and the lazers-- see the tailcoat?

I assisted on that. I assisted on thirty of those coats, actually.

See those buttons? It was me sewed them on.

Cool. Very cool. And I don't even know who the musician is.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Cool. Very cool. And I don't even know who the musician is.

The band is the Trans Siberian Orchestra. it's not so much a band as it is a touring extravanaza.
The videos are starting to come into youtube... This one really shows the coats in action;

Depending on your taste, you might want to turn the sound way up-- or all the way off

Flinging the hair is a dance movement these days, we notice.
