Is this a safe space to ask a really naive question? 😭 i apologize if this is intrusive. What happens after you finish tying someone up? After all the time and effort that goes into rigging, do you have to immediately start undoing your work once it's complete?

I don't know what safe space means I'm not gonna bite you. But to answer your second question it depends entirely on our goal and on how difficult the tie is. Full suspension can last as short as a few minutes or as long as an hour+ depending on how the model is feeling, how safe I'm feeling, how challenging the tie is, WHY the tie is challenging, whether anything can mitigate the pain

Usually, I'll keep adjusting and changing the tie until I'm out of ideas, and then we'll stay there until it's no longer peaceful + fulfilling for the model

harvest is soon. the word itself fills me with too many emotions to describe, which maybe means i should think about it more and maybe make some art about it. pictures from 2024 and 2025 harvest and hey there's @girlknots on top of my two tons of sauvignon blanc must.
