Couch Bondage: Take Two

Pet and I recently went to another local rope night.  This one was well attended so space was at a premium. In the interest of sharing space equitably, I opted to start the evening with another round of couch bondage.  Now for those of you who may have missed my previous post where I first used the term, "couch bondage" is any sort of tie that can be done while both parties are seated on a couch.

First up was an arm tie.  Anchoring the bight of the rope around two fingers, I then did a series of double coin knots to just above the elbow.  I then wrapped the rope around and secured them with more double coin knots on the underside of the arm, bring the running ends around and back through the sides of the double coin knots to create the diamond effect you see in the picture.  It took me a while to get this one going, but I was pleased at how it turned out. The next picture shows the underside of this tie.

In this view, you can clearly see the double coin knots on the under side of the arm and how the running ends were drawn back to the front.  The tie works down the front of the forearm, then back up the under side until the running ends are back by the wrist.  I then wrapped the loose ends until I was left with the two slightly frayed ends on either side of the wrist (as the top picture shows).

The next arm tie started off much like a dragonfly arm harness does.  I started off the same way, sliding the two looped ends up over his arm and then doing a second turn around both parts of the arm, closer to the elbow.  Then the weaving started!  I kept weaving until I had a thick band on the outside of his arm.  The inside maintained its relatively spare look.  I finished up the ends by bringing them up around his wrist and ring finger.   The picture below shows the other side of the tie.

The last two shots show the foot tie I did.  Once again it began by securing the bight of the rope around two digits (in this case toes) and doing two double coin knots (the second one was at the arch of the foot).  I brought the running ends up to the ankle in front, then in back and finally back down to the bottom of the foot.  I then did weaving on both sides tucking the ends under the weaving. I was pleased with how it turned out.

So what kind of ties do you like to do when space is at a premium?
