The "Making of" Gallery - 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".

Jessie, that looks great. I especially like the red knots. Perhaps it's the lighting or the wax, but they seem to have a certain vibrance to them that appeals to me. Well done!
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.

Very nice Jessie! I like how you evenly spaced the sections of checkerboard plait.

Jessie, that peacock inlay is, to use a technical term, freaking gorgeous! I love the pirate whip too, but the peacock is really spectacular :)

I started this little project a year ago, brought my prototype with me to Germany with limited result. Mainly, it looked crappy. I wanted to get the new one done once and for all. From core to knots, the whip is entirely made from 275 core. It is lightly loaded exactly the same as my practical whips, the only 550 cord is the fall. 275 is just too tiny to try to double up. I have my thoughts on using 275, but I really cant say too much until I can crack it in the heat, which, as you can see, still does not exist in Northwest Wisconsin.

That look marvelous.
Very nice job.
What was the final overlay plait count?

It's ok if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

Well, warm weather come on!!! WS, this is fantastic. You should be very, very proud. It really looks excellent. You are getting better with every whip, and you definitely have your own clear wonderfully beautiful style.

Very nice, Jessie. I don't think I'd have the patience for that small of a cord. I love the colors and the plaiting looks great. Excellent job.

Spectacular work, Jessie! I imagin the smaller cord and higher plait count will make it flow like butter - once you get rid if that snow!

I did not know that I love that color combination until I saw it. Wood, gold, black and blue. And all those details...! You made good looking and really working whips with a whole lot of artistic facettes. But this one is - at least for me - the peak. In terms of design, colors and pattern you set a new standard, Jessie. By the way - I like your new avatar picture!

This is my first long whip. It is 9 feet, 18 plait in chocolate brown with desert camo knots. The handle is painted with a textured hammered metal finish. The heel is weighted, with a brass cabochon. This is also my very first taper twist build, so it's a big pile of firsts for me.

The core is scrappy, but another facebook whipmaker that I know and like very much said to me, "all of my whips have a rainbow heart." I love that so much. Here is this very serious whip's "rainbow heart."

And the beginning of the plaiting...

And finished, full on vogue:
