skymobile - the 麒麟 pendant search

i've been searching for some way to "personalize" the skymobile.

given her recent history, i wanted to get something like a protector-cum-watcher-over pendant of sorts for the skymobile...and i figured that the most personal i could go with this idea was to get a 骐麟 (or 麒麟 - qi2 lin2) pendant for my beloved.

for those of you who are not familiar with the term "qi lin", please refer to this and this.

and for those of you who are not familiar with why this is personal to me, "骐" is the "chi" in my chinese name. (moby sky is just a writer's name for your info...the history of which is somewhere in my archives which i cannot be bothered to link)

so anyway, the qi lin's got a head of a dragon and a body of a lion (in most accounts at least)...and, as you can see below, he's not much of a looker...





but come on, neither am i...so what better fit right?! =)


the thing is...just as mystical as they come, qi lins are almost impossible to find in pendant form!!! the one or two i've seen in feng shui shops are made of jade that's badly carved...much worse than the above-pictures of them...

does anyone know where i can find a nice looking qi lin pendant? please let me know...

the skymobile would be very grateful. =)

My friend placed a pi-xiu in her car. Heard that one is quite effective. Any 风水店should carry them.
