Simply referred to as drop among alchemists, this potion is brewed by exposing the contained magical liquid to a droplhorse's luminescent light. Described as being mentally uplifting and often used for amusement purposes, the drop bears the danger of quick dehydration while bestowing the ability to smoothly fly and swim alike.

Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble!
Meowzah! Yet another feline tiny painting, this one inspired by the prompt "witchy kittens." So much fun!
The original is only 3x3 inches, ink, watercolor, and acryla gouache.
If you've been wanting to commission your own tiny painting from me, one spot just opened up in my Tiny Collector Tier on Patreon (link in bio).
Fantasy writing prompt: due to some unfortunate circumstance, a potions merchant hauling a shipment of healing potions ends up trapped somewhere, and is forced to subsist on healing potions until they are found and rescued. It keeps them alive, though they learn that an all-healing-potion diet has some rather... unexpected effects.
I followed along a 3D tutorial using Spline to make a magic little bottle and the resuls were pretty okay! I have never used anything 3d before but it was surprisingly fun (but time consuming)
Although the nope-suds may look like an ordinary bucket of soapy water, it is in fact a potent potion and tool for combat. Sometimes found in skely-ton-infested dungeons and imbued with the magic of the dark goddess they worship, the contained liquid is rumoured to grant sinister powers. But who would voluntarily drink from a mop bucket…

You need: dry nettle, a jar, a lid, a butterknife, hot water, and a fridge.
Nettle is once again lush and beautiful so I harvested a bunch (wearing gloves) and left it on the bedsheet for a few days to dry. Nettle already has very low water content so it dries very fast! Once it's crunchy it can no longer sting you, and it's harmless to touch (but don't push your hand in it randomly because stems can still cause some irritation.)
Now, when it's dry, you can grab a bunch, and stuff it inside of a jar, filling about two thirds of it (if your nettle is in smaller pieces then less!).
Once it's in a jar, you pour boiling water over it. Once the water covers all of the nettle, there's going to be a lot of displaced air bubbles inside, so grab a butter knife, and stir it around, the water level will get significantly lower.
The nettle gets so pretty and green inside. After stirring and freeing all the air bubbles, you fill it up to the very top, and you put the lid on. (If you need to grab onto the jar to close it up, use a cloth to touch it! Hot.)
You leave this to cool down, and then leave it in the fridge overnight. The next day, you grab it out of the fridge, strain it into a cup, and that's it!
The color can vary from yellow to black, depending on how much nettle you used, and how long it was left in the fridge. For some people, this will have a taste similar to milk! Sometimes it can feel slightly grassy if it's only been 24 hours since you've made it, but if you leave it half a day longer, it gets to a much sweeter tasting phase.
Now that you know how, why would you make this? Because this is amazing, incredibly helpful herbalist potion-like thing to drink. Firstly, if you're in any way lacking in iron or calcium, this will have your back. I'm using it every day to make sure my calcium levels are good and my bones healthy. It also has immense positive psychological effect on a person, it will regulate your hormones, lower your stress levels, and give you a burst of new energy. First few times I had this, it made me incredibly energetic, and for about a month I was able to get all of my chores done, despite chronic exhaustion. It made me happy and giddy and whatever I was stressed about, now seemed like an easy, do-able task. Forever impressed with this drink! And will never stop making it and drinking it, for as long as nettles are growing.
Just finished a fresh batch of rainbow glow in the dark potion bottles! Available in my Etsy (link in bio) as pendants and earrings. These take almost a week to make because I have to do the colors one at a time and let them dry overnight in-between, but it's worth it!
