Decisions, Decisions......
What to do... Well I may be a one trick pony thus far but I think I will stick to making a cow whip (any surprise there???!). Now, I have oak and a specialty wood. So, that's the choices for the handle, and a few colors of paracord for the overlay. Hmmmm..... I'm very tempted to just take an actual vote in the overlay colors . That would be interesting...
Here's a sample:
Handle
Waxed colors:

Hahaha!!!! I had to try.....
I actually would probably have to drink two cups of coffee and take a good dose of headache medicine to order or plait with pink... Nothing wrong with pink, for someone else, but it just would be... Difficult... And against my very nature to plait with pink.
Sooo....
Some form or combination of the colors above, or with olive drab- which I forgot to picture...
So, my apologies to Pokkis or anyone else who may receive my whip and really was looking forward to the pink and neon green.... It coulda been GITD green...
Seriously, one or two of the colors above plus or minus drab olive. I'm thinking two options, or three:
Coyote brown/Drab olive-bois d'ark handle (wood pictured above)
Midnight blue/electric blue-oak handle(cooler color)
Chocolate brown/Coyote brown with either handle.
Or!
Monotone

And you're closer to the Moon than we are right now :P
It's still a long way for just shopping chocolate is what I'm saying, but fortunately there's no need to go across Europe for that. If you ever have a chance to taste Fazer blue chocolate (no, the chocolate itself is not blue, just the wrapper) you totally should. One of the best things this country makes

all those combinations sound splendid...
I had the privileged of working for the Oppenheimer family (De Beers diamonds) on their Game reserve Tswalu Kalahari, I was lucky enough to meet the family and take them on a two week safari over Easter. The youngest was the cutest 5 year old you will ever meet with impeccably manners. I remember driving through the desert with him in the seat next to, a giant woven basket full of the finest Swiss chocolates in his lap. The whole time he would eat one and then ask "Donovan could I offer you another one". I am ashamed to say that I accepted his offer every time...
I essentially stole candy from a baby, but I have an absolute weakness for real chocolate...
