Re: The Donations
Count me in on a whip. Not sure what it will be yet, but will design something.

Re: The Donations
I'm in for a whip, but I won't know the specifics until July, after I get through my show. If time allows, I may donate some art also, but it's too soon to say for sure. Definitely a whip though

Re: The Donations
I think it's time for me to step out of the shadows. I'd like to contribute a whip this year. There are a bunch of new designs I have planned. Just gotta figure out which one.

I've already described my donation in post #2 in this thread. Here are some photos:

Re: The Donations
Robert, that's an interesting piece! Do you find that the extra turksheads effect the action? When I first started learning, I was making snakewhips that looked similar to this with grapevine service running between two knots up on the thong.

Re: The Donations
Tyler, the extra turksheads act a bit like a very short handle - so this doesn't behave quite like a 'normal' snakewhip. As I said in my description, 'fixing' various problems with this whip would be a very interesting project. Still, even without that, 'it 'works'!

Re: The Donations
From what I've read in 'How To Make Whips' (p101-102), this looks like a blacksnake: a heavy snakewhip designed to be reversed and used as a club.

Matt, I'm sure you're right: a blacksnake.

Re: The Donations
Sorry for the lack of communication, but I still plan on making a six foot German flag whip. I just need to finish my Frankenwhip 2.0 and then I'll get to work. When do we need to have the donations done by?

Re: The Donations
The first of September I think. I'll have to look at the donations thread when I am on the lappy tomorrow, or you can look. The donation whip thread.
Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

Re: The Donations
"Scrappy" Snake is ready for the overlay. Just arranging colours from my bag of 'bits'. Looks like two shades of blue, some 'rust' and silver 
The lengths are cut, I just need to decide the ordering of colours.

Re: The Donations
Once the donation whips are completed, where should we post pictures/descriptions of them?

Re: The Donations
This thread says the donations-
But maybe our admins would like to open one thread for just photos and descriptions of prizes so there is no jumbled content?
Just a "Prizes" and a simple "$5 per ticket gets you a chance to win one of these, winner responsible for shipping costs"?

Re: The Donations
Yeah, that's why I was asking, I didn't want to derail this thread or just make it confusing with pictures.
