My problem with both of those methods was getting the daggone thing to hold still at more-or-less eye level while I was working. My husband finally took pity on me and loaned me a camera tripod; I dug a hole in the bottom of my torso, jammed it down on the mount and it works just fine. It even swivels!delle wrote: Did you opt for hanger or for stand? What are you packing it with? On one of the sites I visited they inserted a quality (formed) wooden hanger, then loosely packed it with crumpled newspaper, sealed up the bottom and arm holes and then carefully filled with low-expansion insulation foam. This just seemed like a really sturdy (tho still easy and cheap) way to go..... It can hang off a chain from the ceiling beam when in use, but be tucked or hung away when having my unsightly nudie form around isn't appropriate.
I also liked the alternative of getting an old, cheap sturdy floorlamp - cutting the post to the proper height then attaching it to a wooden base with a pipe flange.... but frankly I don't have the space on the floor. And there's a tickle-factor to the thought of having me floating from the ceiling....
Oh and I stuff mine with plastic grocery bags and the insides of old pillows.
That shapely shape really is you!!!
