This is a boy carpenter bee. Males have shiny black thoraxes and no stingers.

I made it for :iconmollinda:'s bee contest.

Full view is bee-tter. :D

He's awesome :) I like his expression, and the attention to detail. What do you use to make the wings? I have a doll I'm working on and trying to figure out how to make her wings so they don't suck...lol. I'm thinking of starching coffee filters and cut/shaping and painting them.

As always... beautiful work. Glad to see you posting! You had me worried for a while there.

That's amazing! I just love the detail of the face, he just looks so adorable with that little smile on his face. Wonderful piece, thank you for sharing!

He's seriously cute! And normally, I'm not a fan of bees, being allergic and all. His expression is brilliant - so happy to be doing what he is, and all the detail on the body is amazing.

eeeww, I don't really like bees... at least not close up. However, that is crafted extremely well with a lot of good detail. I do really like those wings! It is very nice .... for a bee, lol.

Fabulous! Great face, and the body is very good!

That could work well; you could maybe use watercolor on them? I just melted some vinyl (with an iron) onto a wire base for these.
