Description The crook was originally made in 2006. It took me a couple of years to figure out what materials to use to make a matching flail. The core is copper pipe and the bands are made with seed beads, as with the crook. The three 'falls' (for lack of better terminology; refer to parts of a whip for comparison) are made with turquoise, copper and glass beads, and painted wood.
Managed to glue two of my fingers *completely* together making this one, I had to use nail polish remover to separate them! But the end product is lovely. It won't see much real 'use', per se. But that's the whole idea.

Oh my god, these are absolutely beautiful 8D. I have been looking to buy a nice set but can't find quality looking ones anywhere. Perhaps I could follow your instructions to make my own now. But really, you did a lovely job.

I notice a lot of works in your gallery are inspired by Egyptian culture. Do you study it?

Very cool! I can imagine a pharaoh, such as your profile's namesake, wielding these as he sat on the throne.

That's what I couldn't remember from "cat o' nine tails". Although, if you're talking bullwhips, the fringe-y part at the end is called a "fall".

I loved that movie for a whole other reason: Christopher Walken pushing someone out of a window.

Hellz yeah.
