This is the Gallery of "Sui Generis Whips" - 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".

Jessie, that looks super fine.
I really like the light blue and the chocolate (?) brown.
Since it likes to fly, I don't have to ask how it cracks. :)
Score : Fighter = win, forces of evil = loss.
Very nice job.

The color choices and cab did trigger an idea for a more elaborate example of this kind of desert theme. I need to invest in some seed beads and dust off my beading loom.

Wow, what a beautiful whip, I love this 3D diamond pattern at the handle, it gives the whip a very elegant look.
Excellent work, Jessie. ;)

All the best

Jessie, your choice of cabochon really makes the whip. Very nicely done!
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.

Thanks. I think it's important to take Liberties when the whips are so standard. Like I said though, I see possibilities with a more elaborate art whip stemming from this. I really need to make some more art whips. I'm going to focus on a couple of those after I get the others done that I need to get done.

I know what you mean when you talk about your art whips Jessie, but I have to say that in my opinion, this is art, as well. The beautiful lines and understated elegance, and the colorsl speak to me. And it already has a creation mythology, born in a struggle with it's creator! The local indigenous people were Cherokees and they would have called it a-ya-s-ti-gi (warrior).

It was aptly named then. I foresee you two having many adventures together.

Outstanding, Jessie!

Is that handle the same basic design as the handle of your Practical Whip?

Robert, yep:)

Thats the trouble with only 2 colors. It was kind of a Southwestern situation, so I went big sky and black earth.

Jessie, I think Fighter has a very good balance of pragmatism and art!
