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".

Very nice indeed, Rachel! And there's something about that handle that just shouts, 'Take hold of me!'
'Less is often more!'

Pretty! You remind me that I need to make a whip soon. I have been slacking I guess.
Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

Rachel, I love the way you use the colors of earth and nature - and the handle and thong lioks finished together.
I can't comment on the plaiting, but U know how at least one if your whips perform
Today is a good day

I think that the color of the thong perfectly complements the handle. Well done, Rachel!
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.
