Kraken Pendant (Mythological Elements)

thingiverse

This pendant is part of a series inspired by mythological creatures that embody the power of elements. If you'd like to own this pendant printed in metal or higher quality plastic, consider visiting my Shapeways store. Water is represented by the Kraken, a giant sea monster from Scandinavian legend said to be so large it's frequently mistaken for an island. When it dives back into depths, it leaves behind a maelstrom that drags down all ships nearby. It catches men and ships alike, up to the biggest man-o'-war, and either swallows them whole or drags them with it to the ocean floor. Many lost ships are blamed on it, and many yarns spun about it from mere squid sightings. Each pendant in this series is designed so each can be hung by two loops at its top, personalised by the wearer. The design allows the pendant to be incorporated into a necklace with pearls or other trinkets, giving room for further embellishments between the top loops and to dangle from details in the design. Alternatively, this design also works nicely for all sorts of decorations. I'm relatively new to 3D-modelling and printing but this piece printed well for me, so I hope it turns out fine for anyone else who wants to give it a try. Enjoy your pendant and let me know how yours turned out!
