The leather bandana is the puppy’s - I believe he got it at Mr S leather but I’m not 100% sure

Jute is my preferred handling material partially due to the color and light handling, but given I want to suspend models of all weights safely, I can’t use jute uplines in good conscience. Instead, I use brown posh uplines ( they come closest in color to heavily oiled jute) but might switch to 6mm ipo 5mm posh due to the bightiness and intense pressure ppl have described when making thigh cuffs

Thanks mo! Looking forward to it

Pictured below is a shot of me tying shot at Folsom Berlin, with a pup friend. It’s one of my favorite shots as it shows my belief that rope can exist at any event, not just under a bamboo in a studio. ✨

Shibari Study Support yes! The carabiners become perpendicular/ diagonal to the ring unlike the bamboo where the hardpoint stays in the same direction!

What keeps the ankle tie from just sliding back to the heel? The size of the cuff?

Question about using the carabiners on a ring, when you attatch the first two carabiners on a ring the angle changes clockwise 90 degrees - ( not in the same direction when for example suspending vertically. Is this an issue?

Very very much enjoyed this class and hope to see more of this! Also if possible to explain a little more how to make the clove hitch upline for the moon tie to prevent the slippage

Awesome! Can you replace their rope with a larksheaded blindfold or mouth rope in case you have short hair?

Awesome! Would you say the Mayfly is also safe/ a possibility to do in strappado form where you start the same just with the arms in strappado position?
