Love, from under the chair

Thank you to The Cage and all that work tirelessly to make it what it is. ive never felt safe as I do here. ive never met the caliber of people that i do here. But to get a Happy Nameday....you so made a lonely persons day. Thank you to all of you. Muah!

  Having reached a place of all pieces fairly equal i decided to treat myself to a peek of all parts together. i truely do luv this piece. Giggle.. but i doubt i do another one. With spindals at least anyways. Now come an interesting step. Because it would be far to easy to leave the arms parralel to the seat. Cant have that now can we. Oh no. So my plan now is to cut and reshape all the spindal tops so that the arms angle down towards where they attach to the back. Still no clue how im going to do that yet. Then the opening in the seat needs cut as well. im thinking heart shaped. Along with pics of chair thought id add a pic of one of my outdoor projects. Looking forward ti working on it a bit tomarrow.

Giggle.. ok ill admit i just had to toss a lil color in with my pics of wood. In ways i really dig that thecage givea ya one avatar, and one photo for your profile. 

So.. from those beginings of figuring out just How to take a chair apart.. and mind you those pics were when i 'thought' i had a start. Here is more of my passion. And once again.. these are me 'thinking' i really had a start now.. giggle

As id said.. how far am i going to take it? There is a intense joy from learning a new medium/craft. Maybe its the sub in me.. or maybe its that i usually have no guide.. but sumtimes after hours beyond hours of thinking you're startin to figure it out, by accident or vision, ya realize the hours you 'wasted?' doing it so not the easiest way. For me both with my music, and projects, this can be so brutal and punishing. But what is a poet without a pain?..

So its been awhile since ive made an update to the state of the chopped rocker. This is not due to inactivity, but technical problems. For some reason its not letting me upload pics. Giggle.. and i have so many! Hopefully some tech support will ride in to save the day. But til then.. i really wanted to get this out there

  In an earlier post i spoke of the similarities im finding between my project and bondage. And how much of crafting, no matter the medium, is bondage and domination. Exercising my will to create new form.

  But here i ponder on sumthing different, and in ways very personal to me. ill skip the lineage of odd childhood memories, and there are many, and skip right to meat. i can so remember the first time i put on panties and sumthing clicked. i was in a chatroom talking to a trans girl and she told me to put a pair on. Let me say here that dressing fem has never been a sexual turn on for me. i just.. well.. liked it. 

  So skip ahead 15yrs. Now its been nearly 2 years since ive worn anything but panties. On how hugely my point of view has changed on so many things. Especially on things like why even visit sites such as this. So as i spend hours and hours slowly etching out from an ancient forgotten thing a hidden beauty underneith. So many times thinking this is it.. Only to discover that yes its good enought as it is to go forward but i can see another layer that be taken off. Could free a lil more detail. So much like that first time i slipped on those panties and to compare to recent pics. Never dreamed of taking it this far. So im often asking myself.. and the rocker.. how far are we going to take this?

Oh the hours and hours. The frustration found in fabrication compares nothing ti that found in restoration. Epecially when you dont know what your doing. But i can honestly say its getting there. After weeks of soaking, glueing, clamp then repeat the back of the rocker is nearly a solid piece again
