Kelpie

Kelpies are sea monsters from Celtic folklore. Known to appear on land as beautiful horses, kelpies lure people, especially children, onto their backs. Having lured a rider, the kelpie's skin becomes adhesive and escape is impossible. The kelpie returns to the sea and drowns and devours its rider, eating all but the heart or liver.

 

This kelpie is made of suede with a mohair mane and hand-painted acrylic safety eyes and features a thin coating of pearlescent acrylic that glimmers in the sun. His arms are jointed for posability.
