The Drink: Lipton Orange Blossom Hibiscus herbal tea, sweetened with Saffron Rock Candy.
The Place: The Digital Frontier
The Art: You're lookin' at it!
Lipton? Boring ol' regular Lipton? You betcha. This herbal blend in a fine, pyramid mesh brews like a loose leaf with the convenience of a packaged tea. For sweetener today I used a stick of Saffron Rock Candy, gifted to me from a Persian Market in California. The candy is sugary sweet, with the warm, honey-like flavor of saffron. It complimented the flowery flavors of hibiscus, and mellowed the tartness of orange.
Also, it's worth noting that this "cup" is the size of a large soup bowl, and one Lipton tea bag was enough to deliciously flavor the entire thing <3 Sweet, flavorful, convenient, and yes, cheap!
Now, If two of these categories seem a little ambiguous to you, just take a look around. Instead of creating an art piece for the blog today, I revamped the blog itself! The blog, the website layout, and my portfolio of comics, illustrations, and editorials are in a perpetual state of revision. Today I went through my files, updated and changed things, and made plans for changes in the future.
Some things will continue to change throughout the next few months. You can bet your cute cookies The Wet Stain logo will change, the adorable pug header will make way for an updated look, and side bars will hold icons and links to more sweet art. Take a look around the site this weekend, and don't forget to send me an image button and a url to your website if you have a blog or portfolio you would like to affiliate~
Have an awesome St Patty's weekend! I'll try to avoid being too obvious and abstain from a blog post about green beer ;)
