This is the Gallery of "Sui Generis Whips" - 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".

I thought so. I usually take pictures after it's done, but I thought I would try an update. This customer was particularly happy for the pictures and shared them on her facebook. She's excited :)

Scott, *heh* :D

I would say that it's more like learning to drive a nice reliable high end Chevy.

Awesome work, Jessie!

I realy like the handle design!
The wrapping is very precice and I love the way it looks form the different perspectives: on the second picture, the wrapping reminds me of a short herringbone pattern and on the other pictures it looks more like a "endless knot"- love it!

All the best
Ben

Yeah, it's a little different on all sides. It made it hard to line up the spine. I'm still not sure which side is s up. I'm not sure if I will do this again.

Jessie, I love that handle wrap! Very different, do the gaps give extra grip? :D

I think so. To be honest, it's way too cold to crack it outside (I made a blog post about my discoveries with the cold and Whips) and my house is too little for indoor cracking with a 3 footer. I'm going to see if the school would let me use the gym at night. Maybe.

This whip was for a fella who breeds and shows rare pigeons. At first he had no interest in colors, but after I asked him what his interests are as inspiration for colors, he really got into it. The customers really seem to like any personal touches you are willing to do for them, even on the standard whips I do my best to make them personal if I can. Anyway, his prized birds are rust and silver gray. To add interest I textured the exposed bit on the handle. It's really cold this morning, so i didn't spend a lot of time on the pictures. This is what we have:

This is superb, Jessie! The handle is magnificent, and will surely please the pigeon fancier! Your imagination and creativity are wonderful! :)

I really love that rust colored thong and how the wax weathers it, Jessie. Also texturing the exposed part was brilliant, it gives it a eggshell sort of look. You're really cranking them out.

I'll try that again...

Yes, the way the wax has soaked into the cord really helps the whole look. Lovely.

I agree, the "weathering" of the rust colored cord definitely enhances the look. Very nice!
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.

Beautiful work, Jessie!
I also like how the rust colors turned out after the waxing and the look of the exposed portion fit's perfectly into the overall design!
The silver grey handle wrapping doesn't have any "color differences" after the waxing which adds to the harmonic look of the overall design!

All the best
Ben

We are still pushing a windchill of -30 F out there. I know everyone is tired of looking at this damned tree, but walking around exploring a different backgrounds hurts my face today.

This goes to Vancouver, BC
