MK Kelpie

This is wee product logo and illustration for MK's latest whistle range the Kelpie. It's a simpler one piece whistle compared to the more complicated and expensive MK pro aimed at learners and people looking for the MK sound at a more attainable price.Check out the product page here http://mkwhistles.com/mkshop/kelpie-1.htmlThe Kelpie is a mythical water horse from Loch Laide near where myself and Misha are from.

"The water horse is a common form of the kelpie, said to lure humans, especially children, into the water to drown and eat them. The water horse would encourage children to ride on its back, and once its victims fell into its trap, the water horse's skin would become adhesive and the horse would bear the children into the river, dragging them to the bottom of the water and devouring them—except the heart or liver. A common Scottish tale is the story of nine children lured onto a kelpie's back, while a tenth kept his distance. The kelpie chased the tenth child, but he escaped. Another more gruesome variation on this tale is that the tenth child simply stroked the kelpie's nose but, when his hand stuck to it, he took a knife from his pocket and cut his own hand off, cauterizing it with wood from a nearby fire. The child saves himself but is unable to help his friends, as they are pulled underwater with the kelpie."
