Rachel, are those the colors for the overlay?
(I am seeing royal blue and lavender, which , by the way, I think would be a cool combination)

Nope. Not, if you look at the vertical lines at Rachel's wall. On the other pics they're deep black.
Here they are blue. That means, that everything that appears blue must be black.

Rachel - this is not a problem of the light in your house. It's a problem, caused by the camera.
What it didn't do is called "White Balance". Those cameras are stupid like a hand full of salt.
You have to "tell" them what is white. When they "know" that, the have all the other colors
straight. I bet, the last pics you took, have been shot outside. That light is - for the camera -
totally blue. You take the next pic inside - no white... - everything is shifted to blue.

That's all :)

Rachel, absolutely you!
The burgundy accent and the purple heart go so well together.
I love the elongated barrel look of the cup.
This is so elegant and sleek that, I know that I have said this before about a previous whip but, this is the best whip you have ever made.
The look, the styling are......... (I ran out of superlatives)

See you in the 10/10 practice challenge, Jessie's WS.

Thank you, Ron!
The handle, I shortened up the angle grip some so it'd fit my narrow hands. It works :)

Oh wow. Very nice looking, elegant whip.
I love the little accent you have given with the burgundy cord.

Craig you did indeed name the colors, and I thank you, sir! It looks really sharp with the Purpleheart! Good eye, Craig!

Stefan, thank you!
As stated above which I did miss in the description of the whip, Craig was kind enough to suggest the burgundy, and I'm sure glad he did.

I know, right? There is a singular kind of beauty to simplicity. I love ornate. As a steampunk Victorian era lover, ornate is the thing. But I think my favorite pieces are the ones that are just present. Rachel's whips have a presence that just don't need fru fru to get noticed.
