The Nest

A blog, a studio, a story

Hi! My name is Amethyst Snake, or Amee for short. I’m an independent and creative individual with a penchant for the spontaneous! I’ve lived what feels like a hundred lives and experienced more life than most people will in a lifetime. I’ve been on both sides of the argument countless times and played every role from hero to villain. I’ve been called many things and am known for even more. But one thing I’m not known for is journaling. That said, I enjoy a safe space as much as the next person, and as much as I hate to admit it, I enjoy writing.

Come to think of it, it’s no surprise that what started as a name for my personal rope studio has grown into a blog where I will begin documenting and reflecting on my rope journey thus far and in the future.

The majority of my rope experience is in rope modeling. However, I’ve recently begun pursuing formal lessons on the traditional forms of Shibari. In doing so, I hope to become an even more well-rounded rope model and further hone my eye for detail and aesthetics in rope.

So, what does all of this have to do with rope? Everything. The more I’ve experienced rope and met those who practice it, the more I’ve realized that I can learn so much about a person simply by how they approach a tie, let alone a scene. Even something as simple as a single-column tie can be telling. It’s incredible, really!

I’m looking forward to sharing my rope journey with you, and I hope it inspires you to find your own path, whatever that may be. Because although hobbies, like the opinions of others, don’t define us, I like to think that in everything we create, there’s a little bit of us.

Kisses, hugs & bights,

Amee
