Heart Mask

On days when I'm not necessarily ready to face the world, this is the face I reach for. It's big, bold and a little bit strange, which suits my purpose just fine. Those who like pins tend to like this one a lot: those who think grown men should shave before they decorate themselves tend to be confused, or start to edge away slowly.

This is another Thomas Mann pin, in steel, copper, brass, bronze and acrylic. The poor quality of the photo obscures some of its many details, but that can't be helped. Suffice it to say that I like its somewhat haphazard composition (what's that bent arrow at the top for?), and the enigmatic expression. Definitely a winner.
