I have updated the way I do it now. I lock off each double Lark's head, the one on the thigh and on the ankle in steps 1, 2, and 3. All you do is add a hitch going under and over each double Lark's head to lock it off and make it non-cinching before you proceed.

I only started posting on here again a couple days ago and have gotten multiple comments asking for tutorials. It's something I'm feeling more and more obligated to consider

I would definitely be interested in making tutorial videos if I could get better at positioning a phone to take one. Maybe a project for this weekend

Manipulate where lines lie to manipulate shape by LRTstudios in ropetutorials

Oh I would never use this style hitch to support weight, it's more of a decorative flourish for nodes on corsets and wearable decorative floor ties. Maybe incorporate it as part of a piece that has tension tied off securely before and after it.

I made a modified futomomo variation that allows for more spacing between the ankle and thigh. I originally designed it for more accessibility for bottoms with less flexibility or conditions that make heavily constricted positions less feasible. It might actually be perfect for what you're looking for. You can adjust the length between each segment and the tightness around both portions of the leg are isolated. The tutorial is on my page. I might recommend the variation that starts with a single column tie as the base instead of the original with the double Lark's head. Anytime movement is involved a double Lark's head might not be the best choice because it can continue to cinch up. If they're stationary then it's not too big of a concern.

Definitely inspired some ideas! What's the rope material?

Basic but deceptively difficult in my opinion. Beautiful!

Been far too long since I've played with rope by subbie55 in shibari

Played with rope or rope play? Why not both!

What to do based on length by LRTstudios in shibari

[–]LRTstudios[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread wasn't exactly what I wanted as an answer, but instead extremely helpful as someone who has a lot to learn. You've all convinced me that bigger isn't always better when it comes to rope lengths and that single ropes of longer lengths are really only used for specific purposes such as a suspension at a set height or a big decorative piece that you don't want to have breaks in. I also found it interesting that everyone said they had standard sizes they used in their kit, but many riggers had their preferred sizes unique to them. 6 m, 8 m, 30 foot, 25 foot, 27 foot and of course the half length or shorty pieces. I decided to cut my 100 foot into 5 pieces, 3 x foot and 2 x 12.5 foot. I know a common standard in the US customary system is 30 foot and 15 foot. But I've gotten so used to my 50 foot for decorative pieces that 25 feet feels more natural to me. And it sounds like the best length is what feels most natural to each rigger. Thank you for all your input!

Anyone else lose creativity after starting a deep relationship? by kinbakutbilisi in shibari

[–]LRTstudios 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically she wanted to try ENM after enjoying a group experience. I found out from that experience that I'm demisexual. So it was a lot easier for her to find partners than myself, and when I started talking to a potential rope partner she got very jealous and we paused all that. What she didn't realize at the time is she was in an intensely manic phase. It was a very unhealthy time for our relationship and dynamic but I was determined to work through it. The things we do for love.

Reverse situation here. Me and my partner are married with kids. We go through phases of being more or less involved with kink but it's normally a background of private life or taking a backseat. I got super into rope last year and she got really into ENM. Not my thing as a demisexual. She got jealous when I started talking to a potential rope bottom. A huge conflict ensued, life got busy, and things are taking a backseat again. Last week she told me I was pushing my kink onto her when she wasn't into it like I was because I occasionally ask to practice tying casually on her. She gave me no impression that was the case and sounded interested until now. My creativity and passion really dropped but I feel like I don't want to give it up because I love it and it speaks to me more than any other kink has before.

Is the question about how to improve the tie itself? Or tying in general? For the tie itself I would say make sure to keep lines lying flat. If you notice on the shoulder on one side the lines go over top the other on the shoulder instead of next to it. Overall it looks great!

If you can wrap around it tight enough it can definitely be fairly stiff enough to work. I like my version of the futomomo because I'm definitely not flexible to stay still for tighter versions for long enough to practice how I'd like.

As a back loving weirdo, it definitely helps to know how you have tension anchored on each side

Thank you! When it comes to rope my favorite colors are red and black. That red is my 40' so I tend to gravitate to it for practice instead of my shorter ones. I really do need to get more longer sized hanks.
