Restrained Elegance member Merlin designed and built the stocks in a box for us ages ago, but we don't give it the use it really deserves. I think possibly because Ariel hates being locked in something inescapable (she likes to believe she can struggle her way out), and probably also because she finds the position so undignified.

But I think that's being ungrateful, so when Merlin visited us for the Restrained Elegance "mega location shoot at home" recently, it seemed like time to give the stocks-in-a-box a new outing, and demonstrate to Ariel exactly why it is such a good design!
