Several months ago I met a cool guy named Topher who is also a whip maker. I'm always a little nervous when I make whips for people in my same profession but we all like to test out each other's work so this comes up from time to time.
This whip is Special because it is a gift for his wife... (which is probably the reason he couldn't make it himself) As we were talking, he said he wanted a whip that reflected the Rastafarian flag and maybe in a flying V pattern. I won't lie, I had to google the flag to see exactly what it looked like. (Google wasn't super helpful because some of the images had the flag with the colors in one order and some had the colors in the opposite order.
After some thought, I figured out how I wanted the handle. I put little Rasta flags on it that turned out great. I also made the whole whip fade from more green to yellow to red. It was super fun to make something with a theme and I'm happy with how bright and fun it it. (I even don't mind the flying V chaos that much)
