I got home from work and went to the gym. I got back to the house a few minutes before 7pm. And I asked soundsFun if he wanted some dungeon time. We recognized that we were under a deadline.
This became about creating stunning visuals. I handed soundsFun a white bodysuit. And I got out climbing webbing. I didn't have enough of any length of my color coded webbing to do a single color tie. So I settled for doing the body in one color and the limbs in another.
With a longer piece of webbing I was able to do the chest harness continuing into the shoulder straps. I tried adding an additional set of shoulder straps with a differently colored piece of webbing added on a larks head. But the knot between the shoulder blades became too bulky, and I stripped it off.
I have been less excited with the reversed double swiss seat. For this tie I used the single reversed swiss seat only to hold a structural rope harness in position. I was pleased.
The limbs were a little difficult. While working out I had a heavily caffeinated N.O.-Xplode
(lovingly referred to as "I can't believe it's not crack!"). My hands were shaking a little from the caffeine. After the wrists I decided that I probably don't need a fourth wrap of 1" webbing per limb. The lift was done from the workout bench. Starting nearer to the final height meant that the partial lifts weren't uncomfortable. Since I was using climbing webbing, it seemed appropriate to use climbing rope for the vertical lines.
I was planning to rope over a leather blindfold. But it worked better to just use a webbing rope corset as the blindfold. I tied this to position the head at the correct angle. This apparently made the tie more comfortable.
The blindfold took a lot longer than I had expected, and it was already 8:15pm. We took 5 minutes of photos and I let him down. First the arms, then the legs, then the hips, then the torso. I untied knots.
I took a quick shower and met up with friends.
