An Introductory Caning
From a forthcoming illustrated book I’m colaborating on:
“...the new girl should be arriving soon, Sister. It’s a cold night out there - I do hope you’re all good and ready to warm her up when she arrives; her bottom at least...ha ha ha!"
“Oh yes indeed, Doctor Swanley! I’ll stripe her behind for her, good and proper - you need have no fear about that. I’ll soon break her spirit!”
"I'm glad to hear it Sister, because this one is a 'long-term' patient, she is to be in our care for an indefinte period - and the woman who is paying for her stay here wants just that; she wants the girl broken completly, in every way possible!"

Four versions of the latest cover pic for the book I am currently collaborating on. The title and other texts are likely to change before publication by the way, but this gives an idea of the look. The basic background is by Angela Fox, all the rest is by yours truly. The red rubber suit pic was supplied by the author - Robin Stone - himself. Don’t forget to let me know what you think - which elements you like, and which not so much. But what I'm really interested in is which of the above you prefer. You'll need to look careful as some of the differences are a little subtle, but just click to see a larger version. Perhaps next time I'll set up a proper poll based on the above, but for now please leave a comment or email me directly at toyntanen@googlemail.com Ta!

Hello World! I'm Back!
Hi folks – just a (not so) quick note to say that Roger Benson has made contact with the idea of a couple of polls based on his stuff in the up-coming days and weeks and also to explain where I've been all this time.
The pic at the top – I have to point out – has precious little to do with any of this; it's just something I put out on my Tumblr account a couple of days ago to kind of say “hello world! I'm back!”, since I had it hanging around on my hard drive. But it also serves as a kind of demonstration of how several images may be put together to tell a story, along with a little bit of 'colourizing'. The original pics can be seen on my Pinterest account if anyone is interested.
So - Yes, I'm still here. Only just about though! SO much has gone wrong this year. Earlier in the year my mum got sick (she suffered a fall while I was away in Ross-On-Wry (I doubt that's spelled correctly) and went to hospital where that let her just sit or lie for several days without exercise, so although she was not hurt in any way from the fall per se she suffered muscle atrophy and her arthritis got a LOT worse from the inactivity). Now she has carers visiting four times per day and I have to get the shopping, clean up from time to time and now sort out her financial affairs for which I have a letter of 'general power of attorney' which in itself has been hassle and taken up a lot of time (especially since her bumbling old twat of a solicitor managed to mess up the first version) so that thus far I've only sorted out only one bank of the many banks she has accounts with.
But also back in late April / early May I developed pneumonia. Then I went to Cyprus for two weeks while convalescing, for the warm dry climate, but used the time to improve fitness in the hotel gym. But all the time I was having to deal with calls from social workers, physiotherapists, care team managers and the like re my mum. Then a few weeks later I went to Spain for near-on three weeks, then I was home for a few days, taken up on doing stuff revolving around my mum, before going off to Broadstairs, Kent on Monday 13th August (what was I thinking about, travelling on the 13th), intending to spend a few days at the Broadstairs Folk Week.
Actually the first night - the evening of the 13th - went fine, despite the fact I left London a little on the late side having spent most of the day in a local pub, but I got the high speed Javelin train from St Pancras station and was in Broadstairs by 5:30 - 6 PM. Then early Tuesday I woke up to find the hotel room stifling and jumped out of bed to open the window...and promptly fainted, coming down HARD on my chin on the top of and old style central heating radiator and momentarily knocking myself out. I KNOW it was only a momentary loss of consciousness because I found myself on my hands and knees by the side of the bed, not laid out flat on the floor, but there was blood everywhere!
So I pulled myself together - my teeth were all there - GOOD! - but there were two deep gashes below the chin. Well, FINE, I could see in the mirror they'd need stitches (as it later turned out only one did - just three stitches - the other they were able to glue) but I figured I could roll a towel underneath my chin to staunch the bleeding temporarily, perhaps have a bit more sleep for a couple of hours (now that's a little stupid following a possible concussion, but that's me for you!) and then pop up at A & E in Margate (I was staying in Ramsgate - SO much cheaper than Bradstowe itself anytime, let alone Folk Week) a little later in the day, get a couple of stitches and return to the gigs and pubs of Broadstairs around mid afternoon, perhaps after a snack for lunch and a few beers in the Ramsgate Wetherspoons...
It was THEN I noticed two things: One: my teeth didn't seem to line up properly and felt kind of...well...'weird'! Two - and more importantly: I had blood trickling down the side of my face coming from within my right ear!!! OMG! Blood coming from inside an ear after a bang on the head is definitely NEVER a good thing!
Ok, so I'd not actually hit my head per se, not the cranium itself; it had been more like a violently delivered (is there any other form?) upper-cut with an iron bar, but definitely time to call an ambulance! So you can probably guess the rest. My hearing was ok - so no worries there - but I'd basically performed the diagnosis before I'd called for the ambulance...hmmm... jaw fracture - high up, close to the joint, probably within the joint capsule itself since then it would be likely that the bleeding from the ear would be due to a secondary crack radiating out from the socket into the outer ear canal...And yes it was! Exactly that!
So I spent half the day or more in A & E being tested and scanned every which way. Then at length I was told I was to be transferred to the specialist maxial-facial unit of the William Harvey hospital in Ashford, also Kent and gave me a fix of oral morphine (VERY pleasant - but I don't know why since it really wasn't hurting all that much...unless I yawned; I learned quickly early on NOT to yawn!). And then - no more than a half hour later (after a couple more scans requested by the SHO at the William Harvey) they seemed to change their minds and discharged me with the instruction to present myself at the William Harvey maxial-facial unit in two days time.
So off I toddled to the bus stop - all wobbly and woozy on the morphine they'd seemed to have forgotten they'd given me - to head off back to the pub gigs of Folk Week. Actually it was quite nice - it was mid afternoon, the sun was blazing in a perfect blue sky, and the beers sort of gradually took over the pain relief duties as the morphine wore off in an apparently seamless change over! So I still got a couple of days in folk week and the pain never returned...until that is one day after my Ashford appointment.
It turned out on top of everything else I'd contracted tonsillitis (and I also had a mouth full of ulcers; but I get those with stress or if I bite my mouth and so on, and so they were probably directly related to the trauma). The tonsillitis I think had already been lurking, probably from the flight home from Spain (I don't know the incubation period) since upon my arrival back in London I discovered my significant other to also be suffering from a terrible sore throat.
I was already on antibiotics since the blood in my ear was indicative of what had been essentially an 'open' fracture, even if perhaps only momentarily open - and they were 'broad spectrum' so no reason to bother the GP, plus I wouldn't have been able to open my mouth wide enough for him to look anyway. But it felt like there were also some ulceration of the throat also, in addition to the inflammation. So basically I ended up seeking pain relief for the throat and ulcers, even though I had been not taking anything to manage the discomfort of the jaw fracture (I'd been trying to avoid taking NSAIDS since the inflammation reaction is an important stage in the healing process).
So anyway, as things played out, I only returned home here a few days ago - I'd been staying with friends while getting over the worst of it. I've been on 'soft foods' since the 14th August (three weeks today) which translates as protein drinks, baby food and puréed stuff and if I eat out we go to a posh chippy up in Cockfosters where I can have taramasalata or humus starters (minus the pitta bread - I managed some smoked salmon last time, mashed with my fork) and a couple of cod roes - which I can mash with a fork - and mushy peas. I started back at the gym nearly a week ago, although I have to be careful not to clench my teeth. But the good news is that the medical folks haven't so far felt the need to wire up my jaws.
I had a check up last Friday at Northwick Park hospital over near Harrow-on-The-Hill (it would have been quicker to have travelled back to Ashford!) and the consultant was happy as regards my progress, although they'd be loathe to operate due to the proximity of the fracture to a major facial motor nerve (the fracture turned out to be exactly where I'd predicted - a crack right through the chondial head - intra-capsular - with a crack radiating from the socket into the external ear canal) and at this present time - although only three weeks out from the trauma - I am beginning physiotherapy exercises to try improve the range of movement of the jaw (all the info is available via Google - but is common sense really anyway.
Oh yes - and the other half's mother is dying of cancer and hasn't long to go by all accounts! So Much shit in one year!!!
But I'm beginning to get it all back together as you can see, and you'll be hearing a lot more from me as Autumn comes on! At this moment in addition to the above mentioned Roger Benson 'poll' which is ready to go, I also have a completed book penned by a chap called 'Robin Stone' which I'm supposed to be publishing on behalf of the writer (and thus acting as his publisher I guess) and which thus far is only available in one form (PDF) under my own name on LULU because I was having problems creating a LULU account under the writer's own name – and then everything started going wrong. This particular task I'm hoping to get completed over the next week or so, hopefully getting it out in various formats on Amazon, LULU etc. Although not my writing style or 'thing' generally - due to certain themes and interests which don't float my personal water transport - nevertheless I did contribute a fair bit of artwork and also an opening section, some proof reading and a few paragraphs here as well as the formatting, and so I'm keen to get it out there. I'll tell you more next time!

A Roger Benson Poll - Sort Of!
So, as promised last time here is a Roger Benson poll. It was due to go out shortly after my last posting here but shortly after you last heard from me my mother's bank accounts got hit by debit card fraud - which I'm still sorting out (I have general power of attorney - and therein hangs a MUCH longer tale all of its own!) - and my most significant other's own mother sadly succumbed to cancer and died!
As regards the present post: The trouble is it turns out- after a few failed experiments this morning and a bit of on-line research - that Blogger has decided to discontinue its own poll 'widget' and also abandon support for the sort of 'third party code' I've embedded in the past. Now, there MAY be a solution to this, going forward - when I have a bit more time on my hands - but as you'll see later on down at the bottom of this post - after Roger Benson's poll questions - whereat I pose a couple of questions myself, I pose the query, basically: Is it worth it?
So for now I beg your indulgence to have a read through, see what you think and simply send in as a comment the question numbers along with your selected response (basically just a letter 'A''B' or 'C' etc - except for one of mine which requires a few words if you have time). So. in the form Q1 (A) Q2(B) etc. I'm sure you get the idea! Yes, I'll have to moderate them all before they pop up here (because one or two folk out there cannot be trusted to to spam commercial links etc) but I can do that from my phone while out, on the bus or imbibing coffee (not beer at the moment because of the fractured jaw and the fact that alcohol might inhibit the healing process - but believe you me: I'm planning to make up for it!!!). Right then! Over to Roger Benson - you'll recognise his style: It does differ somewhat from my own, usually far darker, somewhat more sinister, interpretation of his images: Perhaps you find that a refreshing thing - I don't know:
It’s 1959, and two shapely, attractive sisters – April, 19 and Lorna Jane, 18 – are spending
the summer with their Aunt Vera while their well-to-do and socially prominent parents are
spending a “second honeymoon” in Olde Europe. The girls soon find, as the illustration below
suggests, that their Auntie Vera is a strict disciplinarian!
For the sin of untidy rooms, Auntie Vera has spanked both girls and is now giving them
disciplinary enemas.
Question 1: In the situation depicted, who would you most like to be?
(A ) Auntie Vera
(B ) The girl on the table (Lorna Jane)
(C ) The girl being made to watch while she waits her turn (April)
Question 2: How many ounces of warm, soapy water should Auntie Vera administer?
( A ) 16 ounces
( B ) 32 ounces
Question 3: For how long should the girls be plugged after their enemas?
(A ) 10 minutes
( B ) 20 minutes
(C ) 30 minutes
Question 4: Should the girls be made to wear full cut, tight fitting black rubber panties
and no skirts for the rest of the day after they have been permitted to relieve
themselves?
(A ) Yes
And now - two of my own questions:
Question 5: Do you prefer the original monochrome versions of Roger Benson's artwork or some of those 'colourised' versions which are' doing the rounds' on the Internet (an example of one of my own may be found here - click)? Or put another way: do you think the colourisation process adds any value in enhancing the 'atmosphere and so on'? Or perhaps it detracts from it?
Question 6: (And the last - honest!) Do you think it is worth my hunting around for a solution to the folks at Blogger's decision to discontinue their own poll 'widget' and support for 'third party code'? Or to once again put it another way - do you have any interest in such polls?
(A) Yes
(B) No

Detention And Control In A Domestic Enviroment - And In A Bygone Era
It was a different era. The equipment kept up in the girl’s bedroom, simple and old fashioned. But the approach is sophisticated - and the thrice-daily sessions supervised by her live-in nurse are proving highly effective. By the time she’s ready to be shipped off to the residential institution her guardian has in mind the girl will actually be GRATEFUL for the rigid framework of rules, stipulations, regulations and restrictions she will encounter there
So - two images, one featuring a cane, the other without a cane. The question is kind of two-fold really. One: Which do you prefer? Two: does the imagery do anything for you at all? OK - here's a THIRD question (I just thought of this) Who out there prefers this kind of 'bygone era' kind of setting to a more modern setting?
Sorry I've not been around much by the way folks, but as well as all the problems I outlined before my mother has been in hospital these last - near-on - four weeks with pneumonia and I have had to be in the hospital almost every day with just a couple of days or so here and there to get anything done. It's just been that kind of year I'm afraid!

A Notification Of A New Book For A New Year (Not Mine Unfortunately) / Test Posting
I am having problems re-opening my blog after having made it invitation only for a while (for personal reasons) so this is something of a test run. Please let me know when or if you see this.
I have been 'off the air' for quite some time following my mother's death back in November and her burial a couple of weeks before Christmas, since when - other than for a break over the Christmas / New Year period (mostly spent in the pub - a nine day mega-bender) I have been largely dealing with her estate and legal matters pertaining to probate as a co-executor of her will along with one of my aunts and am only now trying to get my life up and running again.
One thing I DID manage to do before it all went pear shaped with my mother (actually it was way back in June last year - a measure of how long all this has been going on for) was publish this for my mate Robin Stone on LULU. It is presently only available published by yours truly as a PDF but in the fullness of time it will also appear under Robin's own name, in various formats such as EPUB and hopefully also on Amazon too! While not really my thing in certain aspects and not my writing stle, nonetheless I have had a guiding hand, contributed the opening section, written and or edited one or two areas and done quite a lot on the artwork side.Click here to visit the relevant LULU page.

A Work In Progress - And A New Blog (Same As The Old Blog?)
Hi again Folks - I'm back. So, I'm still struggling with various bank issues linked to the probate process as regards my late mother's estate but at least now I'm getting in a position where I feel I can put a little time aside to work on my various projects again. To the this end I have been working on building a composit image for one of my heroines and presented here are a couple of later stages in its progression and evolution.
The upper image has all manner of disjointed discontinuities where some of the various components which went to make up the image don't quite meet up and match properly. In the lower image, although still nothing like perfect, I have attempted to address some of those issues (including the design of the dummy / pacifyer, which I wasn't happy with). While doing so - and in redesigning the pacifyer - I came up with what I think to be a particularly tormenting refinement of the disciplinary element; the idea just sort of popped up in my head.
The basic idea is a simple but effective disciplinary measure, but with a major part of that disciplinary effect built around the fact that the pacifyer is NOT fastened in place, that in principle the hapless subject COULD spit it out! (plus I thought I might find creating a realistic-looking retaining strap, and the effect on dimpling the skin, difficult to bring off).
The dummy could be any colour of course, but for the thing I'm working on I wanted the dummy to match the girl's hospital-issue pyjamas, which long ago I'd decided would be a sort of striped, subjued bottle green-like shade and several images already exist on my hardrive ready to go with that look, else I might now in hindsight have adopted the idea of light and dark striped grey pyjamas. I would welcome your comments and ideas on this.
Finaly - Tumblr is becoming ever more puritanicle it its outlook with quite rigid censorship now running rampant (no female nipples can be shown, for instance, just like being back in the 1960s) and I fear sooner or later my Tumblr blog will fall foul of this policy and end up disapearing. Already several of the images on my Tumblr blog have been tagged as 'adult content' and as such are now only viewable by the three of us: me, myself and I! For this reason - like many other Tumblr users - I have now opened an account withBDMSIR.COM, a new and very Tumblr-like blog site, so hopefully should my present Tumblr blog vanish you'll be able to contiue following me there. And please DO follow me and others there and so help make this new venture a success (although I don't yet have much content posted there to be honest). Just click herehttps://bdsmlr.com/blog/ToyntanenBeyondTheBarredWindow, on the blog site name above or the lower of the two images above to be rushed startight there!

Creating A New Character
A character I’ve been working on for an illustrated publication I’ve had on the back burner for some time and based on an old photograph I came across once. The original, although perfectly innocent and depicted in an everyday medical setting, I found had possible sinister overtones, certainly enough to have triggered my imagination into action. It was the syringe, but also somehow in combination with the woman’s expression - it was / is something I found / find difficult to put a finger on let alone put into words.
I’m not quite sure I have been entirely successful in capturing that whatever-it-is - and I think I may have made her too broad in the beam. But I think it has got SOMETHING going for her, even if it does need a little more work. She won’t be depicted in isolation, as here, in the finished work of course - but to say any more would be to risk giving too much away!
All I can say right now is that in the completed background pic when I've tried her in it (in this form, but a little narrower in the hip) she looks a lot better for some reason the dress not so blurred, nevertheless, please let me know what you think.
And another thing: It appears the links I placed within my last posting I'd messed up and thus in a few minutes I'm going to remedy that and so you should all be able to find my Tumblr blog alternative, ready for the fateful day I get shut down on super-puritanical Tumbrl. And at some point I'll post a link in the right hand sidebar too - but I've been a bit busy of late, so please cut me a little slack folks!

A New Experimental Pic For You
Here is something new I’ve been playing with today - another idea which may make it into my long awaited (I’m sure - ha ha!) new book, which I plan to be a sort of illustrated version of my old ‘INSTITUTIONALISED‘ series (still around on LULU and Amazon etc by the way!) This one was inspired by something my pal ROBIN STONE(the chap whose book I published on LULU a couple of weeks back -click here to see) sent me recently. Any way - enough for now because I have to rush out so please tell me what you think thus far. The image most likely wont be used in this form or necessarily with this background scene (which is just something I slung together from bits and pieces I had lying around on my hard drive to give a 'feel' for it rather than a plain background).

The NEW Arranged Marriage - A New Way Forward?
So - now that here in the UK ‘Civil Partnerships‘ have given way to full-blown same-sex marriages and the customs of other cultures are more and more often tolerated one’s thoughts turn to the possibility that there might now be one more way for a step parent or legal guardian to get a recalcitrant and permanently pouting late teen off their hands! Yes - you've undoubtedly guessed it: Perhaps the door is now open to a whole new interpretation of that term: ‘the arranged marriage‘!
Actually I've been thinking along those lines for quite some time now, although I'm not sure where it's likely to lead in terms of writing yet - if anywhere - and I feel I ought to get my present project out first but next time I allow myself to go out on a drinking binge I may well take my trusty laptop and see what comes out after a couple of pints or ten! It's the Wetherspoon's Spring beer festival soon, so you never know - I'll keep you posted on that in case anyone cares to join me for a pint or so; I may well be down in Ramsgate using the fairly new and wonderful Ramsgate Wetherspoons or indeed in one of the three Wetherspoons in Brighton - most likely the Marina 'Spoons; Ramsgate because I'm looking to buy a property around there to rent out (I need the income!) and Brighton...well just because I like the place!
Oh lordy - I cannot BELIEVE how long it has been since I've posted here! What can I say? It's the demands of probate and all that goes with it I'm afraid. However - having said all of that - I'm still managing to put a little time aside to work on my various projects each week, albeit often just one or two days per week at present, while also collaborating with Robin Stone in various ways. Incidentally, Robin is currently working on an exciting new project, which I'll probably have a hand in at some point and which he is hoping and planing to get out in the fairly near future; so keep your eyes open for that one! As with his last publication - available here on LULUor on Amazon - I will probably be acting in the role of publisher as well as doing a bit of proofreading, editing, perhaps contributing some pics and so on and stuff like that!

New Robin Stone Book
Hi there folks!
I don't have much time to say much today except to announce the publication of a new book by my friend, Robin Stone(available on LULU here - click here or on the image above). I am primarily acting as publisher on this one, although I have done some editing and have also been responsible for formatting it so as to suit the requirements of epub. It is only available as an epub at the moment - and Kindle on Amazon - but PDF and print versions will appear on LULU shortly after Easter. It is not strictly speaking a brand new publication in that it has been previously published under a different title but it has been updated to some extent I'm led to believe. The cover is by one of Robins friends incidentally. The subject matter is self-explanatory from the title!

The ‘Benefits’ of a Gas Mask: An Article by Robin Stone
Hi folks! I know I've not been around for a while but I am now back working on a couple of projects, of which more next time. Meanwhile here is an article by my mate Robin Stone. Now this is not my sort of thing ordinarily but maybe it is yours - I'd be interested to know one way or the other. But whatever I may think about the present subject matter, I've done some collaborative work with Robin Stone in the past and always there is some merit in taking on board someone else's 'interests' when it comes to providing much needed inspiration....Now read on (as they used to say)
The ‘Benefits’ of a Gas mask
By Robin
Some people find it difficult to understand why someone should like gas masks. There purpose being quite sinister – being made, and widely distributed in times of war and conflict, when the enemy might inflict poisonous gases on the troops or population.
Why should anyone actually like to wear one? Why should anyone actually want to make someone else wear one? There doesn’t seem to be any logic in it.
But then one has to understand that by they’re very nature they need to be made of rubber, and of course there are a great number of people who love rubber. I don’t need to go into the details of that in this context. We just need to understand that there are so very many people, females as well as males, who love the smell, and feel of a beautifully crafted item made from this wonderful material.
So, let’s just assume that we have a very pretty girl, called Joanne, and she is willing, or maybe even not willing, but she is just forced to obey! She could very well be dressed from head to toe in rubber, maybe including at least one shiny black rubber mackintosh and probably a pair of very shiny and very tall rubber riding boots. Joanne has no option but to obey.
She may have seen pictures of gas masks before, but that would have been in the context of vintage pictures of the second World War, or maybe pictures of military personnel in the more recent conflicts throughout the world. All these soldiers need to carry protection just in case. Why would she think that anyone would have one of these hideous masks in their own home? And of course she would never imagine that she might be forced to wear one!
Just imagine Joanne sitting in a chair looking at herself in a large mirror. She might have been tied voluntarily, (or involuntarily for that matter,) to a chair, as she knows that to have her tied up pleases her mistress. Or maybe she even enjoys being helpless and at the mercy of her tormentor. She can see the reflection of her very pretty face in the mirror. She might have been allowed to put on some basic make up, but even without it she is still extremely attractive.
Her mistress approaches from behind, our submissive doesn’t notice that she has something in her hands. Joanne obeys when she is ordered to close her eyes. What is happening to her? She’s tried to turn her head to one side, but the grip of her mistress’s hand holds her head firmly in place. Suddenly she finds that something is being pressed over her face. She struggles again, but it’s in vain. She now finds that her breathing is restricted, and what is that awful smell?
Joanne can feel her mistress fiddling with something towards the back of her head. She has been told to keep her eyes firmly closed, and she dare not disobey her mistress for fear of the severe caning that she will most certainly receive. Her bottom is already very sore from the 50 strokes of a cane that she received earlier that day. She can’t take any more, so she obeys. Her eyes remain tightly shut.
The thick rubber presses even more firmly to her head as her mistress pulls the six rubber straps in to hold the fearsome gas mask even tighter to her head. She struggles to gain air, until she is told to calm down and take slow even breaths. She still finds it harder to breathe than normal. The inlet valve is restricting her air intake. As she breathes out, the outlet valve makes a strange noise.
She is now allowed to open her eyes and she stares at herself in the large mirror. She stares at herself in astonishment. What is that grotesque thing now over her face? Surely it can’t be her inside the terrifying black rubber mask? It is her. How could her mistress do this to her? They had never discussed anything like this before, but now she is being subjected to the humiliation of wearing this awful thing over her pretty face. In fact she can hardly see her face – only her eyes are visible through the thick lenses of the mask. She is now under the discipline of having to wear this awful gas mask. Her mistress surges with pleasure as she sees her slaves’ distress.
Little does Joanne know that this particular mask has been modified from the original. The inlet filter has been removed and its place has been taken by a long black corrugated rubber tube. The tube is two feet long and what should be the open end has been covered over. It should be over an inch in diameter, but she can only inhale air through a hole which is no more than 1/8th of an inch in diameter. The length of the tube makes her situation even worse.
Once she has calmed down considerably, she finds that she can inhale sufficient air for her survival. She struggles desperately when her mistress picks up the long flexible tube and simply places the end of one finger over the small inlet hole. One small finger is all that it takes to block off her air supply. She is now finding it harder to breathe. She doesn’t understand why she can’t breathe, and in her panic she moves her head from side to side, struggling to get free as she does so. She cannot gain any freedom of course, her mistress has fastened the straps and belts up so tight around
her, so very, very tight. However, she struggles for breath. Suddenly she finds that she can breathe again as her mistress removes her little finger from over the inlet hole. Gasping for breath, she obeys her mistress and she relaxes in the chair, secure in the knowledge that her mistress is in charge and she is always considerate to her needs – well almost always!
All is quiet in the room and Joanne is left to contemplate her reflection in the mirror. In fact she is not alone, her mistress is sitting out of sight and out of the reflection of the mirror. Tears begin to well up in her eyes. She looks so ugly with the terrifying rubber mask over her face. Salty tears run down her face, but they cannot reach her nose or mouth because they are contained in a separate moulded rubber nose and mouth piece. She is now sobbing with the deep humiliation of having this awful mask clamped over her face. She realises that her hearing is restricted, and in fact she cannot hear anything but the rasping of her breath, as she inhales steadily and then exhales through the valves. Her breathing is still restricted, but now she has calmed down, she is no longer in distress.
She could talk if she wished to, but she knows that if she were to say anything to her mistress without express permission, then she would incur further punishment. In fact after sitting in the same position for quite some time, she realises that she needs to go to the toilet. She calls out loudly, “Mistress, mistress, please can I go to the toilet? I need to do a wee-wee.”
Even though her mistress is still close by, she does not respond. Joanne has no option but to use the thick padded protection that has been put on her, the tight elastic in the legs of the two pairs of plastic and rubber pants prevent any leaks should her terry nappy be unable to contain everything.
Of course speaking without permission will incur punishment, but this time it comes not in the form of another caning. Joanne is greatly relieved to feel the straps of the gas mask being relaxed and eventually the terrible mask is removed from her head. She expects that the session will soon be over, but this is not the case. Her mistress has some compassion and she is allowed to blow her nose and has her face wiped over with a towel, which gives her some relief.
To her astonishment, she sees her mistress place both of her hands into what looks like something in the shape of a head. It is in fact a black latex open-faced hood. After she has been ordered to close her eyes, she finds that it is soon stretched over her head, and she finds that immediately her hearing is greatly reduced. On trying to open her eyes she finds that she can no longer see anything. In fact her eyes can now feel the discomfort of having something pressing against them. The thick rubber padding now filling her eye sockets is far from comfortable, but it is very effective in cutting off all light. She has been completely blindfolded and the thick padding over her ears has made her almost deaf.
Joanne struggles in vain once more, and her mistress gives her time to calm down. Quite lovingly she strokes the back of Joanne’s head, and as she does so, she pulls a second black latex rubber hood over and completely down to rest around her neck.
Of course Joanne has ‘enjoyed’ many a severe bondage session with her mistress, but this is something different. Yes, of course, she has had surprises in the past; that just adds to her excitement, but this is just completely different. What will happen next?
The order to open her mouth is just audible as her mistress speaks quite loudly and close to her left ear. Joanne obeys, and seconds later she finds that something smooth is entering between her teeth. The same sensation that she had before is there once again. She is certain that her mistress is putting another horrible rubber gas mask over her face. Only this time she can’t see what she looks like. She can use her imagination though, and she imagines quite correctly that she now looks just as ridiculous as she did before.
This time though, things are made much worse! Her breathing is immediately much more laboured and of course she can’t see anything at all. Even if she hadn’t got the inner rubber hood covering her eyes, she still wouldn’t be able to see through thismask. The eye lenses have been completely blacked out.
Once again the six rubber straps are tightly secured around her head, this time tightening is facilitated by the latex rubber hood covering her hair. Her struggles are quite futile as her mistress releases her grip. Although she can’t see, she senses that her mistress is directly in front of her. Her head feels even more compressed as the second latex rubber hood is raised up and over the edges of the terrifying gas mask. The tight rubber forms a tight seal around all the edges of the mask.
Joanne is trying to breathe in a steady fashion as she is beginning to learn how to respond to the restricted breathing. She can breathe through her mouth, but not for much longer. The thing in her mouth is expanding! Oh help, what on earth is mistress going to do next?
Steadily the rubber bladder is now beginning to fill her mouth, compresses her tongue and it presses against the inside of her mouth. It expands to fill her entire mouth and starts to push towards her throat. She is beginning to feel dreadfully uncomfortable and she is relieved a little when her mistress lets some air out. But her relief is short lived as the rubber bladder expands once more, this time to an even greater size. She certainly couldn’t speak now, even if she wanted to. There is further movement in the room and Joanne can sense movement close to her, but not hear anything. Just at that moment she can feel something being placed over her ears. She has worn complete ear covering headphones before and the sensation is similar. In fact she is now wearing professional ear defenders that are used in industrial situations.
Joanne has no idea how long she will be kept inside the ghastly rubber mask. She hopes that it won’t be too long before her mistress releases her. She has to remain sitting in the chair due to the tight restraints holding her firmly in place. All of her bodily senses have been taken away from her to a certain degree, some more than others. She can no longer hear anything at all, she certainly can’t see due to the two levels of eye covering, any chance of uttering more than a throaty gurgle is impossible – she certainly couldn’t shout, cry out or hold any conversation.
She can still smell, but her nostrils are filled with the stench of the awful rubber mask over her face and she can also smell the rubber bladder now filling her mouth, but she can’t distinguish exactly where the smell is coming from. She has been totally covered in layers of rubber and her hands and fingers are severely restricted inside tight fitting rubber gloves with fingerless rubber mittens covering them. She has a degree of touch still available to her, but all she can touch is the lining of the gloves stretched so taut over her skin. In reality she can’t feel anything other than the rubber.
Joanne has no option but to try to remain calm and to endure her present situation.

A Pre-Institutionalisation Softening up? Or: I Bet THAT Smarts!
Something I found on Tumblr and thought I'd share with those of you who are not regular Tumblr goers. In my mind I like to imagine this as a pre-institutionalisation softening up. the crop wielded by her legal guardian, stepmother, governess or even nanny or nursemaid.
So (to use the modern style of beginning every sentence with 'so', to show I'm up-to-date with my finger on the zeitgeist; I'm still working on the Antipodean terminal upward inflection) having pretty much finished with text-editing and formatting Robin Stone's latest work I am now moving on to the bit I like best - cover design - while at the same time (as there will likely be a certain amount of overlap between both the the imagery and the graphical elements pressed into use) doing a certain amount of work on my own graphics-based project; of which more next time (I hope!), perhaps accompanied by a teaser of some sort.
By the way: If you want to correspond and share ideas and inspiration with Robin Stone directly - especially as regards the work featured in my previous post, last time - please email me at toyntanen@googlemail.com and I'll pass on your email address to him.
See y'all next time! Take care!

Christmas Is Coming! And So Is Another New Book By Robin Stone!
Hi again folks! Well as you can see from the image above a new book by my old mate, Robin Stone is now VERY nearly ready for publication. As before, the work revolves around many of the usual themes which have become associated with the name, Robin Stone, and for which he is famed.
My input on this one has been limited to proofreading, editing, formatting to suite the various platforms and media on and through which it is planned to release it - namely print and PDF on LULU and epub via Amazon - and of course cover design (and a bit of refinement work on the mask featured above).
Talking of the cover design: As many of you will doubtless recognise, several different and disparate sources have been plundered in creating the imagery, ranging from elements such as pen and ink line drawing, computer generated imagery (the diaper / nappy pail and cage bed, originally created for Robin Stone by our good friend Angela Fox) and photography (the gaberdine mackintosh supplied by Robin Stone himself and the rest extracted from various Internet sources). I have to say I've had a great deal of fun playing with the artwork.
But don't think I've totally neglected my own projects. There is always inspiration to be had when working on someone else's projects, even if the subject matter and style doesn't directly and immediately gel with my own work and I've been able to incorporate certain elements and ideas into one of my own projects. Talking of which: I have a graphics based project growing on my hard drive right now which I have been working on for several years in various forms on and off and which I am presently hoping to get out by Christmas... Hmmm....NICE!
So - the imagery below should give you some insight into the a few of the various stages the cover design has passed through during its evolution, and this leads to a couple of questions:
Some of these intermediates feature the empty caged bed, side bars in the down position. The questions I'd like to pose therefore are these:
Should the bed be depicted with the barred side in the raised position and the barred top locked in place, or should it be shown in the lowered position? Should the bed be depicted occupied or unoccupied?
Oh - and one extra additional question as just occurred to me: The pail - Diapers or nappies; which one should it say? Or, indeed, should it be a plain white enamel pail, or even left out alltogether?

The Latest Robin Stone Is Now Available
Hi folks! Just the very quickest of quickest notes to say the latest Robin Stone book went 'live' today on LULU. It should be now available on LULU as PDF, print or epub / Kindle and should be available on other platforms such as Amazon, Apple Book Store and so on shortly. A link to the LULU PDF version can be found over on the right at the top of the sidebar.
As I said in my previous posting (come on! I'm sure you can remember - it WAS only yesterday!) My role on this one has largely been limited and confined to that of editor / proof reader, publisher and, of course, designer and creator of the cover art, but my own project, still bubbling away in the background, should be ready before Christmas with any luck. I've also got a bit of work from Roger Benson I said I'd do for him on the back burner, so I'm not hanging around right now.
See y'all again soon!

2020 - Looking To The Future Through Rosey-Tinted Specs
...And at equaly Roesy bottoms one is to hope! Ha ha ha ha1
Hi Again psycho-sado fans and spankologists - and a happy new year to you; may the outbreak stay far from your door! Am I the only one who feels as if living through one of those bio-disaster movies wherein everyone is carrying on as usual while in the background the man on the tele is reporting ever-growing - exponentially growing - rates of infection, rapidly mutating contagion evading all attempts at vaccination and empty city streets?... And then the newscaster himself begins coughing....
Oh dear! Anyway - yep! This is indeed my first posting of 2020 - and I feel unaccountably positive for some strange reason; it's like: '2020 is the year it all changes' (the writer turns from the computer, glances over shoulder: 'Please do try stop coughing dear!' Said with an edge of irritability. Pauses to wipe the trickle of blood from his left nostril with his right hand - the action unconscious and apparently not noticed: he coughs himself, and carries on regardless).
So - what do we have coming up for you this year??? ('stop that coughing back there for God's sake - will you!!!') Well for a start: at long last my first illustrated work is coming to a close. Started as long ago as 2010 as a collaboratory project with Angela Fox and more as a test of concept than anything else, I am now...roll of drums... delighted to present the front cover!!! (see above) YAYYYYY!!!
Well, to be honest, it is sort of a prospective front cover at the moment: In the fullness of time (not too much time I am hoping - I want to get the thing published while there's still a few of you left alive out there to buy the thing!) I'll be getting back to you with some alternative versions and asking for your collective opinion.
Talking of the latter (obtaining your collective opinion): Right now I am, in addition to finishing off my own projects - did I ever mention I am also halfway through a fem-dom story with a male protagonist? - I am also beginning work on finishing off one of Robin Stone's projects which he has been putting together in collaboration with the aforementioned Ms Angela Fox for quite some time and which long ago I too had some input. Exciting times!!!
Anyway: One of the illustrations Robin Stone is considering using (see immediately above) you might have seen before (and a version features in my new work too - but in a very different context). It is an amalgam of a room scene by Angela Fox with figures and various additions and adaptations by yours truly. Now: Robin Stone asked me to change the gymslip on the hanger from it's original navy blue to bottle green (and therein lies a question in itself: Which do you prefer? navy blues or bottle green - or does it not matter to you?). While doing this (it took mere seconds) I took the opportunity to change the colour of the nurse's dress (the observant - and relatively elderly - among you will have spotted it is actually a past-times staff uniform from a well known UK high street shop 'back in the day'). See below.
So - the questions I'd like to pose are: Which do you prefer? Or perhaps you don't like either version - in which case what else would you rather see? How do you see this scenario playing out - and does it excite you at all; and if so, why? (I should point out at this juncture that neither of these two versions represents the full picture and both are cropped versions so as to close in on what I see as the salient features for the purposes of this post).
OK - that's it for now. Please don't forget to send up your comments - they won't appear immediately because I have to validate each one before it is published due to certain individuals who had been spamming a while back, but they will appear! Cheers! See you next time!

Hi Folks I'm Back!
I'll explain where I've been at a later date but for now I'd like to dip my toe back in the water with this little offering: I've been messing around with colourising some images from the world in which the INSTITUTIONALISED books were set - whch basicaly could beany time between the late 1950s and the early 1970s (you can largely make up your own mind) - and awful lot of the best originaly being in black and white (strictly speaking, grey scale). The rationale is simply because my next publication shall largly be pictorial. There will be SOME text, to set the scene and / or explain what is going on, when there might be some ambiguity and I'm trying to put over a specific idea, but on the whole it will largely be left up to the reader's / viewer's imagination to interpret, which I think can br quite enjoyable. The work will be in two parts: The first part will be roughly as linear as I can make it. The second part will be a collection of various manipulations I have created over the years, including a body of work I did with, and for, Roger Benson. Some of these you will have seen before on here, a good few you will not have: Either way it will be the first time an entire collection of my manipulations will have been available all in one place.

Martha Dressed In some Of Her Eighteenth Birthday Presents
At an age when her peers are all considering themselves as having entered adulthood Martha, a quiet, bookish girl in any case, finds herself, as an eighteenth birthday present, provided with a governess and a somewhat anachronistc school uniform and traveling back into childhood. By the way, I've temporarily removed the need for comments to be moderated but will reinstate moderated comments at the first sign of spamming
