Bee

Sorry I didn't post yesterday: you missed out on my "Surf's Up" pin. I was having happy times with old friends from England, and didn't have time to post. It'll show up again soon, I'm sure.

Sunday's pin is another Thomas Mann design, one of several insects he's put out over the years. The Bee is a frequent choice when I want to say "Look at how busy I am" when I've little or no intention of being so. It's less common for me to choose this one when I'm actually going to be busy - I have other pins for those unfortunate circumstances.

If you check out the Mann catalog, you'll see the more recent Bee Scatter Pin on page 2: but it's a simplified version of my pin, and frankly not as good .

Cute Pin, but I'm scared of bees.

This bee has no sting. Other than in the tongue of its owner, that is.
