Rodent (hammocks) of Unusual Size

[taleya]

The insanity continues in our place, with work, hallowe'en props and hammock sewing taking place all over the plce in my office - or as in the case of last night/today, all three at once.

Work ...let us not talk of work. Long story short, network infrastructure faults in the US midwest are not our fucking problem when OUR sites work fine but YOUR ISP does not connect via a dodgy router, no we will not give you a refund and the next person who complains will get a fucking fork in the face.

jagwire, I've just about got your pocket hammocks done - bonus extra colours :) Dark blue space theme with yellow piping, Purple-pink with big kiddie flowers and dark purple piping, aqua blue with pink piping (not as horrible as it sounds) and dear god how much fucking acid did I take colour explosion with black piping. Will take photos for you when I can be arsed :P There's big ones for the seraglio and a single-buck (two doe) sized one for the Dukedom of each pattern :) Will send off next week after I get your address, I need to pick up some piping to knock the last of them off and will be going near Lincraft on Friday.

moonmip, also made a pile in the same designs for Her Duskiness. Remind me to give them to you if you pop around next weekend

The braziers are looking pretty good - it took a while to get the fan working properly though. I'm using a single 120mm in a cheapshit hanging basket for two hanging ones, and the shape of the bowl necessitated a lot of fucking about to stop it forming an inverse vortex and eating the silk flames, as opposed to blowing them upwards. A bit of experimentation, a bit of dremel work, and the house smelled oddly of burned plastic but I had it nailed :D All I need to do now is paint the pots, put some foil in to concentrate the light levels and wire up the LEDS.

torasin was most impressed when I showed him the rough mockup version, and made a little moaning noise when I pondered the possibility of a UV model. Turns out that yes, you can get UV LEDs, I have a collection of them wending my way via Ebay and UV dye is cheap. Now all I need is a lamp stand...

Huzzah! Sounds awesome! Do you have a Paypal account or something, or can I just net transfer some dosh next payday?

You are rad.

I know I said just call it postage, but I need to get the extra piping explicitly to finish off your set (and a tad more polar, unless you want three sets of matching big and smalls, and one poor wee small on its lonesome) so call it a tenner and I'll send you up 8 rat-approved hammocks in a handy dandy express post parcel pack :D

Can't beat that!

Drop me a line at my spamfilter - pissmidget@dodo.com.au to arrange stuffs (Paypal is my real email addy, so I'm not saying it here :P)

Rock on. I'm happy to pay more than a tenner, since it's such a good deal. Will email you there when I wake up from post-work-sleep ;)

Sweet, just took pics so you can investigate the coming goodness :P and a customer action shot so you can see the pockets in action

Linked up the pics on my latest post - the action shot is a good example of how big these things are. That one in that photo has a kilo of rat in it, and it's to those two as a queen sized bed is to an average sized woman. Plenty of room to roam, sprawl, snuggle and flomp, inside the pocket and out :)

I seriously cannot wait to see how all your decorations turn out, Leya. They sound like they're really infinitely badass. :)
