A fun how-to video by Lorelei Mission!

"I've noticed that when people start getting into bondage, they have a lot of questions about preparing their first rope kit.  In this casual, conversational video, I cut myself a new set of nylon rope while chatting with you about what steps are involved.  Included:  Overview of nylon rope, cotton rope, hemp rope, both twisted and braided styles.  How to soften a set of "hard" nylon rope.  Rope-end choices: whipping the ends, burning the tips, knotting the tips, or taping the tips.  Typical rope lengths and how to decide what lengths are best for you.  Rope lengths in regards to 'shibari', 'Japanese', 'asian', 'western', or hybrid styles.  Planning before cutting.  Tape-wrapping rope ends.  Overhand style of storage.  In this video I make a 400-foot rope set, but the information provided is applicable for making other size sets too.  Includes brief outtakes.

"By the way, all my life I've been self-conscious about the backs of my hands, a look that some folks call "artist's hands", and people at my Univ called "violinist's hands" -- but for this video I've tried to set aside my anxieties and just let everyone see my not-so-great hands as they are.  Now you know why I usually prefer to have my hands tied behind my back, where they're hidden from view!"
