Lots of praise, here. Time for a little pat on Rachel's back head, I think.
Rachel - your work is really good. No doubt about that. But I ask myself,
where your shop's homepage is. The point is, that you do a great job.
But you deserve more attention. Much more.

Robby, i've been wondering the same thing too.
Rachel, do you have a shop page?

Wow!
Thank you, Philbert,
Thank you, Robby. Thank you.
This is a lot to think about.
Of course, I don't have a shop website yet, and I'm not sure exactly how to go about setting one up- seller and return policies, etc.
Business name, so on.
I reckon I have a lot to think about...
And a lot of work to do. Wow.

Rachel, are you doing the whole thong in diamond plait?
That would be a little more time consuming but I really like that idea.
That looks very good as usual.

No sir, just a little diamond, in black!
Thank you, Ron. This one is for another very special nephew.

Re: This is the Gallery of "Wolf Creek Whips" - Rachel McCollough
That looks awesome, does it take up more cord then usual to do a full thong of diamond plait?

Looks nice and straight Rachel. That is a time consuming plait, but it adds a nice visual touch. I think it stiffens the thong also, and adds some springiness

Looking good Rachel! It looks like you have a good handle on tensioning the diamond plait.

Re: This is the Gallery of "Wolf Creek Whips" - Rachel McCollough
Thanks Philbert, to be honest I am a one trick pony. I've never done a full diamond plait thong, but maybe some of our MUCH more experienced Masters could answer that for you. I would venture to say not a lot more- if you're x2 your length for a single strand I'm fairly certain you'd still have plenty.
Roy thank you, that was exactly what I was wanting it to do- add a bit of natural stiffness and springiness. Your thoughts then tell me I am on the right track. I really appreciate it!

Devin I must have been typing!
It is really good to hear from experienced hands.
Thanks very much, every bit of advice you and our other experienced makers give is really helpful.
I hope to work on some more plait types soon, in between...

It still looks super intricate. High plait counts always do, to me.
Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

That looks great Rachel! I find that a very tedious plait to do, time wise so it's always impressive to see
