I hope he joins, his falls are very unique. And by what I have seen he seems like a good guy.

[Giovanni Celeste]

It's always interesting to see your fine works whatever they are whip or part of it!!!
By the way nice fall and whip ;-)

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Thanks Gio.

I'm know I'm late coming to is party and can not say anything that hasn't already been said but your work is truly amazing. I stumbled across your website a week or so ago and I was absolutely blown away. Out of all the nylon whips I have seen on the interwebz yours are the most striking, design wise. I love your handles. Your work gives me something to aspire to but is also kind of intimidating. I was happy with how my last whip turned out then I see your stuff and it is like comparing a kid playing a recorder to someone playing concert violin. I also want to thank you for being so free with your methods and techniques you use. That is freaking awesome!

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Thanks for the complements, Brian.

My best advice to anyone just starting out is to do what YOU LOVE. If it makes you happy and you love it... who cares what anyone else is doing. That is why I don't do stock whips. They don't make me happy and I don't like using them. It would show in my work. and the other way around, People can feel when I fall in love with their whip and they fall in love too.

Well said, Bobbi.

If you want to be good at something, you first have to suck at it. And if you can't see any room for improvement in what you do, that's when you should probably quit doing it. Yes, I know that sounds like something you could find in a fortune cookie, but that's what an artist of a different field once told me, and it does make sense.

Bobbi, those screaming eagle whips are really cool. The down-to-earth colors work well with your patterns, even better than bright colors in my opinion. I bet your customer was one happy trooper when he got his hands on them

Awesome work as always Bobbi! It's so cool how you put so much personality into people's individual whips On the falls that Ric Boyd does, they look amazing! I was wondering, does the way he weaves them in and out affect the action at all?

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Yes, it does affect it a little. But 90% of whipcrackers will not notice. Only those who are putting out candles and aiming at fruit flies.

[Bobbi Holyoak]

This whip goes to Topher.

See how it has little Rasta flags on the handle??

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Here is a nice set heading to Germany.

[Einar Stephenson]

beautiful whips someone is going to be very happy.

[Sir Roger Tuson]

Lovely work Bobbi.

[Robert Gage]

Fantastic whips, Bobbi! Topher is certainly lucky - as is the recipient in Germany. (Three whips to one recipient?!)

[Rhett Kelley]

Ah, very nice! Like the Rasta theme!

[Bobbi Holyoak]

Thanks everyone! I wasn't going to post Topher's whip till he had it and I know what he thought, but I couldn't wait.

Robert, ya, for some reason Germans order multiples. Fine by me!

[Devin Bauer]

Beautiful work as usual Bobbi. Neat touch with the Rasta flags, Topher is a lucky guy.
I'd like to see someone who can use 3 whips at once, quite tricky with 2 arms I would think.

[Jeff Roseborough]

I love those colors and pattern! Great job Bobbi!

[Chris 'Topher' Holtz]

I actually had this whip made for my Wife as an "I love You present". She found Bobbi's site on her own and fell in love with her work, which is completely understandable. This whip is absolutely gorgeous Bobbi!! Just so everyone knows this pattern was all Bobbi's genius, all we talked about when I asked her to make it was the Rhasta colors, and she ran with it!! Thank You so much, Hayley is going to love it!

[Chris 'Topher' Holtz]

Your Whips are always so neat and clean, Awesome Work Bobbi, really.
