The "Making of" Gallery - 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".

It looks very good Jessie! Do you have any videos where it speaks?

There is just something special about a chocolate brown whip, with no highlights or colours to draw the eyes away from the well plaited overlay. Stunning. And ditto for a video of it 'speaking' :)

I really do like that chocolate brown. From a distance, in the photos at least, it could easily be mistaken for hide. Nicely done, as usual, ma'am!
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.

Very cool Jessie! That looks perfect for can cutting. :) You could probably cut through two with that beast!

Jessie, that looks wonderful - and it could easily be mistaken for leather a few feet away. Well done! :)

A difficult build for such a simple whip. I am reminded why I hesitate to do commissions. I love this cord and look forward to doing another build with it, only this time, I make the rules.

Jessie, that's extremely stylish! I don't normally like sparkly gold things very much - but, in this case, it looks great! And the photos show it to fine effect. I think it could almost be named 'Camouflage' - an effect enhanced by the grapevine on the handle. Very nice! :)

I'm not normally a fan of the patterned paracord, but that is beautiful Jessie, and the grapevine words really well with it as well.

Thank you. The difficulty was that my customer didn't want the original wood handle, so that had to be rebuilt, then she didn't care for the cabochon I made (I designed a phonenix for the heel), so the heel knot had to be cut off and redone. It just consisted of a lot of dismantling and rebuilding. It's my own fault. I assume everyone wants fru fru pretty and some people just want a whip.

I am going to get another batch of this cord though and do a build I want with it. It's so pretty.
