Whip Basics. The Forum

Thank you very much Mark, Ethan and Roger~

Roger, definitely, I look forward to seeing the finished product! ^_^

A freakin' dragon?!? Somehow the moniker "Sparky" just doesn't seem to cut it once dragons are involved. WOW, way to go!

ahahah thank you Scott! Dragon even rhymes with Brandon hmmmm :P

But yeah, I'm hoping to potentially do other animals, and probably words too~

Hey everyone, I have two new whips to show! :3

First is a basic 16 plait red and purple whip, a short 5.5ft commission by a performer!~




And then here's the personal whip I've been working on! 7ft 16 plait whip, with a 32 plait handle and a dragon!~

Beautiful work, Sparky! And that handle on your 'personal' whip is absolutely amazing! Golly!

Really great, wow! I love the dragon!

Yes, such a good handle. Loving your work, Brandon.

Very nice, Sparky, the dragon whip is so cool. Your usual meticulous work on both. You guys are inspiring and intimidating at the same time.

Very nice work Sparky.
The dragon whip is just wicked sick.
Great job.
How does it crack.

Ron

Beatiful work Sparky!
Those boxes really seem to work with thinner cord.
Well done!!

I love that dragon whip!

"Enter The Dragon..."

Wow! Amazing job man! You are one of the best at patternwork.

Yes he is Ethan.

Ron

Great work, now I know why they call you the "fancy pattern king", impressive work of yours.

Thank you very much everyone! ^_^
It's quite humbling to be praised for my patternwork haha

Mark - the work shown in WB always is inspiring! Just gotta find your own style and perfect it
Ron - the whip was actually a bit stiff, and so was a little difficult to crack at first. At the moment, it's working very well, though it still needs some breaking in!
Jyri - I agree, I can't believe how nicely the boxes appeared!~

Again, thank you everyone! I wouldn't have improved this much if I didn't join WB and was inspired so!
Now that I've done that 32 plait handle, I can't wait to play with more patterns in the future~

That whip came out absolutely amazing, Sparky (speaking about the 32 plait handle). I really like the patterns you came up with.

Here's a new 5.5ft set of 16 plait bullwhips for a performing friend of mine! ^_^ Has a triple tapered lead core, which is great fun to make!



The falls are super waxy haha but they wanted it pretty rushed, so I had to take the picture right after waxing.

Sweet!

Great, same pattern but with inverted colours, when i got that right.
They look nice together
