Kapa na Kapu : My buckthorn racing fish

in Alien Art Hive2 years ago (edited)

My newest buckthorn thingy started as a bird monster, but at some point, it started to look like a fish.

As I was carving the knot at the top into a hook, I noticed this little squirrel pilot(or something) looking at me.

I started to wonder if the fish was actually a fish, or maybe it was a boat or a submarine.
Then I thought maybe it really is a fish, and the little pilot dude might actually be a hat. A fish hat in the shape of a squirrel pilot. That might be very fashionable amongst fish... who can tell.
If it is a hat, the pilot has a hat on too. That would make the pilot's hat a hat on a hat.
That became it's name : Kapa na Kapu. I'm pretty sure that's the proper way to say hat on a hat in Serbian.

Whether it's a fish with a hat or a squirrel in a boat, it looks fast. I'm pretty sure this is a racing fish.
I had the idea to put it on something that could rotate it around like it was racing on a track.
I am going to need a few things to get it like it is in my head, but this is the concept in action using a power drill:)



I'm going to find a super cheap fan and use the motor for my racing fish. That will be exciting, because I've never built anything like that before at all.

Warm evening garage times are pretty good!
