So, I did a batch of TV show themed Mule Wyrms for MFF last year (Firefly, Supernatural, Dr. Who) and they were a blast! Have been thinking about doing more themed mules, which would allow me to make fun, unique OOAK Wyrms without the stress of figuring out genetics. I could just go nuts with their designs and look. And I'd been noodling over an idea for a bit when one of our handlers contacted me about one of the very themes I'd been considering......Tea "flavored" Wyrms! The idea is simple....make Wyrms based off favorite teas. I really love the idea, and want to see if you all would be interested. I'd probably do them as a semi regular thing, popping a few up onto etsy for those who can't get to conventions, and doing a couple for con blind draws. Being as there are about a zillion different kinds of tea, it would be easy to vary it up.heck, if I'm really inspired I might play around with minis or standards in the tea theme. Whatcha think? Would that be something you all would be into?
Chime in with types of tea you love and I'll start a running list of flavors to chose from for when I'm sculpting and furring. ;D

Hm, tea... Great idea! And flavours; there's going to be a long lost.
Camomile; blackberry and Vanilla (purple and white?); mint; earl grey (normal tea ;p); raspberry; honey and lemon; mixed berry and herb and spice mix. Just a few flavours I've had that seem like good ideas ^^

Aaaaaah! This is an amazing idea! <3 ;U;
I personally would love to see some fruit infused teas translated into Wyrms, and maybe rose petals! I'm not fond of the flavor, but I'd love to see them on Wyrms! Plus the colours could be rather interesting C:
Although flavor-wise I'd love to see a vanilla chai, honeybush vanilla, and wild orange blossom tea themed Wyrms!
because that totally isn't what I have in my cabinet right now X3

That's a fantastic idea! I thought we needed more themed Wyrmies and an entire collection is awesome!
There are loads of tea flavors..I will have to try and make a list or something. XD

Tea teacups? Exciting!
I just vote for earl grey. It's my favourite tea. <3
I also occasionally drink green tea but I much prefer dark, bitter tasting ones.

Matcha (Green tea)! Jasmine! Royal Milk Tea!
Oh and it's not exactly a tea per se, but try looking up blue chamomile oil for a really lovely soft blue color...
...also not really a tea, but Bubble Tea drinks make for tons of color possibilities. <XD

I love the idea! Personally i love English breakfast tea, honey and sometimes pepperment. I would buy a wyrm with any of those looks. Especially English breakfast. It's very simple but still.

Fantastic idea! I love it, and would definitely buy one of these guys ^^ (thank you Paypal for finally being set up!)
Personally, I'd love to see a Rooibos Tea wyrm (not just because it comes from here; I do actually like the tea) and some fruit infusions. My favourite flavours are blackberry, strawberry-mango and lemon. Peppermint's always good too.
