This is the Gallery of Giovanni Celeste

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".

Hi All,
after many days of hard work here a rich gallery of some whips I made in the last weeks:
8ft Raiders style
8ft bullwhip 12 plt overay with double plait pattern on the handle
8ft snake whip 12 plt overay with snake hitch knot
3ft new bullwhip 12 plt overlay made from old and cheap whip where i save the wood handle.
The original old whip was made of many rolled layers of synthetic material as core and cheap cow hide as overlay
I hope you like it
Gio

Beautiful whips, Gio :D. I love the snake's head hitch on the snakewhip, and the red tongue.

Those are some seriously nice looking whips. I like how tight the plaiting is, it just looks so neat and clean.

I'm very impressed.

Gio, that is outstanding work!!! Elegant, sleek and clean- your style thoroughly, beautifully done!
You already know I love the heel knots!
That snake whip- excellent work!!!

You inspired me, I had to make myself a kangaroo bracelet too.
Your work is (always) inspiring and outstanding.

Wonderful, Gio - simply wonderful! Like Matt, I specially like the little red snake's tongue: it's somehow splendidly 'cheeky'! :)
