Chewdo-Udo Whale-Fish is a fairytale creature from the tale of The Little Humpbacked Horse written by Pyotr Ershov.
In the tale he is described as:
"When they reached the glade, they flew
Straight towards the ocean blue;
There, across it, lay the whale-
Monster head and monster tail;
He was all one mass of holes,
From his ribs grew stakes and poles;
On his tail-a forest black;
And a village on his back;
Peasants on his lip drove ploughs,
Children danced between his brows;
Oak-trees on his huge jaws grew,
Maidens there sought mushrooms, too."
He represents a magical island, but from fashion accessories point of view for me he represents a a creature with an accessory on his back. Having been looking at Orthodox churches, I thought that they would be "worn" by Chewdo-Udo, thus I can use him as my inspiration to create a fashion accessory.
Here are some visualizations of him:
