A Majestic 3D Crest Banner with Musical Octopi

Hine Mizushima Crest Banner

I recent­ly ordered some felt to make a crest ban­ner. As I wait to get start­ed, I’ve been inspired by Hine Mizushi­ma’s recent­ly-com­plet­ed piece, The Roy­al Aquar­i­um Sou­venir Shop. This impres­sive pen­nant fea­tures a mix­ture of 2D and 3D ele­ments, com­plete musi­cal octopi and a crea­ture crest. It’s col­or­ful, tac­tile, and com­plete­ly handmade—what a regal way to hon­or a place (imag­i­nary or otherwise)!

Check out some of Hine’s work-in-progress shots, below.
