Whip Basics. The Forum

Thank you. This one was a bit harder to take a picture of. Shiny handles don't like to be photographed I guess. Whip #15.

Ooooh, that's beautiful.
Damn, Jessie. (damn is two syllables)

(dimensions?)

Ron

Absolutly gorgeous!!!--! I love them both! Wow WS so unique, and you all over!

6.5 foot thong 12 inch handle. Fully loaded. I struggle with the transition. I think the weight is just too much. I know I bound it plenty tight. IDK I was excited to use blue para cord. I might have went too fast.

Well that was cool. I posted this on Facebook and 20 minutes later it sold. I guess now I can make a couple more Obviously roses go over well.

Congratulations Jessie !
I new it was special.
That's the way to do it.
You are on your way.

Ron

That's awesome Jessie! Congrats on the quick sale, that must be a great feeling. I love that handle- Robby gave me some good photography advice-two bright light sources, one from each side, no flash.

Congrats!!-- yes!!!

Gorgeous and well done for the quick sale.

I love your handles Jessie, well done on your sale~

Thanks everyone. Tyler, Robby told me the same thing, though natural light is always good too I think. I struggle with colors being true....and space to set up a light box. It seems if there is a challenge to overcome, I'm going to be in on that crap like a boss.

On the pictures... I'll tell you about the white balance and temperature (Kelvin). Perhaps we can solve it out.

On the whip. I'm not surprised. As I wrote some time ago, your speciality is handle design. And if every whip is a unique piece, a prototype, they will sell very good. Every (good!) whip maker has something which makes him special. Art handles is your thing. All you need now, is a homepage, pictures and some video. Fortunately, I know some folks who can help.

Thanks Robby.

Hello Jessie beautifull and stunning at the same time

I don't know quite what to call it.
I have other tribal designs. maybe it can be a part of a family or something. Hm. Heh. A Tribe of Tribals. Whip #16

That looks marvelous.
Each one is better than the last.
Details ?

Ron

With the handle, it's pretty near close to 7 feet. 12 plait. It's got a little wobble right where I bound the taper at the end of the belly. I am wondering how it would do with a weighted fall...that might straighten it right out. I think just use will make a difference too. I can't seem to make weighted falls. No matter how small of a needle I use, I just cant fit it all together inside the paracord.

Jessie, are you using bead chain?

Ron

Jessie's improving extremely fast. Some people would say that she has a natural talent for those things. And - boy - there are things in the pipeline...

Robby

Heh...Robby is all intrigue...

Ron, I have tried tiny ball chain and lead line. It just will not fit.
I managed to squeeze out one with lead line, but it was really hard. Much harder than I think it should be. Obviously there are details I am missing.
