Reverse crucifix

From Silkworms

reverse crucifix

(the ball)

(needs photo)

this is a position like the crucifix but facing the other way, into the fabric. it looks and feels a little like lifting yourself by your bootstrap: holding the fabric high with one hand and low with the other, you rest on your belly in the dip of fabric between your hands; when your weight is settled in you can release the top hand.
