This is the Gallery of "Sui Generis Whips" - Jessie Edwards

This new Gallery replaces the former "Masters Gallery", which will work from now on as pure archive. Here you will find not only the work and art from folks who sell whips, but also from folks, who create their whips out of pure passion. And we have an additional gallery. It is called "The Gallery - Making of".

That transition knot is very impressive.
I'll bet it was kind of a pain in the ...

...thumbs? ...fingertips?
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

I was thinking a part of the anatomy in the lower part of the torso.

Jessie, you're awesome and your whips are awesome. And no, I'm not kissing your... (see post above).

It's just that..., every whip you make is a confirmation of you awesomeness. Never change!

And I too like the colors and the knots. I can really tell you put a lot of live into your creations. For sure...

Very impressive work Jessie!
I like the tan accents in the heel knot and in between the second and third knot. It reminds me of the look of cow whip keeper strands which I have never seen in combination with knots from both sides!

All the best

Yeah That's what it was--a faux cow-whip keeper. I had a dead spot there that needed something, but was too small for most anything and I didn't think ahead enough to have added a ferrule there. I'm not loving it, but it's permanent now. It's one of the reasons why my daughter got it and it wasn't sold. It's a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants whip. I think if it was a longer area, where I could have knotted it more than twice, it would have looked cool. Eh well. Try again another day. Thank you everyone for the encouragement. You know, if it wasn't for all of you here pushing me to do better and do more, I would be stuck making the same thing all the time. I appreciate all of you.

I thought it looked cool.
It's definitely marketable.

I agree with Ron, it looks very cool and the idea of making a faux cow whip keeper as part of the overall design is awesome!

All the best

Gotcha, Jess! Cool whip though, long knots are truly a pain.

Nice!
It is interesting to see you try to do a simple design:p It still seems to have a bit of your flare.

A 6.5 foot Tesla whip in black and diamond plate. A little fun quirk: The heel knot has a piece of wasp nest under glass.

I need to stop playing with it or I'll get it dirty. It's really easy to crack. Someone will have a fun weekend methinks :)

Jessie, that looks terrific.
The taper is looking so good and the plaiting is very straight. No wonder it cracks well.
I really like the diamond plait. I guess the protective coating worked on the wrap, yes?
Wasp nest ? That is innovation at it's best.
Great job.
