Tersely Pertinent

Nothing to see here.

Someone else posted a blog with a nifty new font and I wanted to see if it was for everyone or just them

So I got me a new little bitch in my life!

Everyone, Meet Molly:

Cute lil cunt, isn't she?

(gives great head as you can see)

Been needing someone to help me model this new project I have been working on.  Since I created my Steampunk flogger, I had some leftover bling and thought it might look nice on a collar.   I also had a great deal of of the fabric leftover and thought it might go well with the bling.

Starting with a 2 inch wide section of my yak leather, I covered it with my velvet and got this:

(yes, I didn't cut the leather straight.   It was an experiment and didn't do it right)

I chose what bling I wanted and put some screw posts though them:

The main problem I had was figuring out how to close the collar around the neck.  I looked up collars online and saw some that tied in the back with a bit of leather string.    That, of course, required grommets.   The problem lay in the fact I never worked with grommets before.   

But when has trying something new ever stopped me, huh.

So off to the hobby store and got 3/8" grommets and the tools to apply them and here is that result:

Annnnnnnnnnnd  the first two I put in backwards.   But at least it was a learning experience, right?   So I laid out and placed the gears where they needed to go, screwing them in from the back.   The main problem was I needed something bright for right in the middle.   Something colorful.  I thought "why not a rose?"

Found one online and thought it would be perfect!  Bright red, looks great and is cheap!

This will teach me to read the full ad when ordering. 

What I thought was 2 inches wide was 20 mm, or .75 inch.

But never fear, I got 5 of them in the order and made it work:

Molly was gracious enough to let me slip it around her neck to show it off when it was finally completed:  

Now during this small shoot, Molly got a bit uppity and had to be shown who was the boss around here:

If she behaves herself, I may let her out in a day or so.

Probably 2.

(Sorry, no vid on this one)

With things still cold outside, I decided to go downstairs and do a bit of cleaning in the work room.   All my projects have been finished up (I just completed one which you will see later) and it was time to put the tools back where they belonged.    Course this means finding some new homes for things and moving other things to around.   While doing that, I came across this:

That is my Mr. Penis mold.   Bought it years and years ago and, quite frankly, forgot where it was.   Like most men my age, I knew I had my Penis, but was unsure where it was.    But now it is time to have some fun with it!    Its made of silicone and is very pliable.     Although it isn't all that big:

But it still stands tall after all this time in storage:

Of course it is hollow:

In the past, I have used a multitude of  materials in it.   Soap, water, even chocolate.     Here is a soap dick I must have made and forgotten about.    Probably should melt it down and try again.    I think the soap is old though:

I don't remember when I made this one, or the reason why I made it.    Usually in the past, I have made different colored ones using food dye.     The soap is safe for vaginal and anal cleaning  though.     Used to make presents of them to subs in a group I used to hang out with in St. Louis.    The chocolate ones were a hit too!

Currently, I have it filled with water (ice play anyone?) and outside on my deck.   The temp is 17 with a high of 21.   Will check on it tomorrow and see how it sets up.

-1 degree is way too fucking  cold to be out there snowblowing my driveway!

Thank goodness I have such hairy nutz to keep them from freezing solid! 

Since it seems to be a trend to complain about:

Really Bad Subs!

I mean, I understand where people are coming from.   I hate it when I get a bad sub.  The bread is tough and the meat is sliced too thin, or they forget to put oil and vinegar on it.   Or worse: they use white vinegar instead of apple or red wine.

And don't get me started on vegetables!  Banana peppers?!?!   Who the fuck puts banana peppers on a sub?    And for fucks sake, call it a sub already!  Don't give me this "po're boy" shit.     What the fuck is wrong with you. 

While waiting on parts for the latest project (yeah I know I said I was going to cut back, but I either changed my mind, or I am a lying bastard.   You pick which one),  I needed something to do.   So I put some thought in my philosophy of the Lifestyle.

What it really needed was a title.   Something not only to refer it to, but something that represents a simple view of what it stands for.       In the end I came up with:

The Art of Surrender

To me, this represents the core of the lifestyle.    The focus, as it were.    Now this is going to upset a great deal of Dominants, but it is the simple truth: the submissive is the most important part of a given D/s relationship.

The submissive is the art project the Dom/me molds.     It is up to us to put the clay on our wheel to spin it about.   We have to learn to focus on where we need to put our hands to bring about the beauty  the clay can become.    It isn't about us.  It isn't about getting acclaim for being showy.  It isn't about how we mold.

It is about what we mold.

a heated jockstrap!!

Got 5 inches of snow overnight, so made a few passes (like that is new, huh) on the driveway and got that cleared off for now.

(the shit is still falling)

Important parts of me got cold.   So back inside and mainlining some hot chocolate until it is time to do it all again.

But the good thing is I have an idea for a Steampunk collar (after talking to someone who is doing the Steampunk thing and getting into the lifestyle).   So ordered some parts (from here in the US, so avoiding tariffs) and will see if it all works out.   

On Going Readers of this Blog may remember I decided to get all fancy and make

a flogger on the Steampunk theme.

(for those that missed that post, Click here )

I also teased the beginnings of a carry box for it.

Here is the completed box.

Sorry about all the pics but it was an interesting project!

I started off with a cheap wood decorative Chinese made box from Amazon:

(Didn't have to pay the tariff since this was an Amazon return) 

Made sure the flogger was going to fit:

The first thing needed done was replace the ugly ass hinges:

With these:

The new brass hinges worked much better and, of course, looks nicer than the originals.   

Even from the inside:

Then I wanted to snazz things up a bit so added brass corners as feet to the base of the box:

(the wood has a fake trim that I didn't want to risk taking off so capped the corners over it.  I didn't do a real good job, so the box does not sit level but close enough)

So that being done,

I thought this thing could use a little more brass:

And this cheap ass ugly bastard just had to go:

But with what, you may ask?

That's Right!   More Brass:

The finishing touch was to put some batting in the bottom interior and cover it up with

some green velvet.

(the wife had some handy, so didn't have to buy new)

Now my Steampunk has a nice new home:

Plus the obligatory vid clip with my bad camera work and narrating:

I know, I know....

I wasn't planning on any further projects but I managed to find this carry box rather cheap from a third party and it was on the list, as an accessory to the Steampunk flogger.    Upgrades should be minimum:

It is a rather good looking, cheap made wood box with fake leather strapping.  It was originally marketed as a wine bottle carry box.    I found it at a garage sale and decided to see if it would fit the Steampunk, and it does mostly:

I'm planning on lining it with green felt and want to replace the hinges and latch with brass.   The problem is I am not really finding what I would like to have on the net.  If anyone has any suggestions or links, I would be happy to hear them!
