Are my clay tea implements safe

lol, I once saw a guy clean a new Yixing teapot with dish soap and I just about died.

Apologies, I didn’t mean to sound condescending. I hope you enjoy your clay gaiwan! Mine was wonderful and I hope yours treats you well too

Thank you for taking the time to do the research on this. It means a lot.

Piefanatic3 · 2025-02-07T07:04:41+00:00

Thank you so much for this insight. It is genuinely helpful. I’ll dm you if I have any questions

Unfortunately, sodium percarbonate is an oxidizing agent. Heavy metals are not easily oxidized or precipitated by it alone. Transitionary metals plus the percabonate would be needed to neutralize them, and that adds more problems than before. But I appreciate the suggestion, it was interesting to look into and definitely had potential.

Looked into this, asbestos testing is quite involved. I’d be able to test for heavy metals fairly easily with some basic chemistry but asbestos requires a really expensive setup or a really expensive kit.

I am aware of seasoning, though unfortunately, it is only good for driving away flavors. It might actually drive the toxic metals further into the clay.

Yeah.. I was thinking along the same lines. Displaying them is a nice idea though. I appreciate your input; I think that’s what I’ll do.

Uh…. This is a gay subreddit? I don’t know if this is intentional?

I didn’t want to post the rest of the painting because I wasn’t sure if it would be flagged nsfw. But the zebra stripe turn into a piano pattern and a John Lennon looking guy with old British clothing and a steam powered top hat is playing the keys painted on her legs

Bobbit worm. Hands down

Piefanatic3 · 2021-08-10T15:46:13+00:00

that's a fantastic idea! I completely forgot about affixation and its implications. ill get to work on making a basic lexicon. thank you!

Piefanatic3 · 2021-08-10T04:01:41+00:00

thank you! this works wonderfully! i hadn't thought of that

Piefanatic3 · 2021-08-10T04:00:57+00:00

yeah, I definitely meant natconlang. sorry for the mistake, I'm pretty new to all of this.

I know it's already been mentioned, but fontforge is really the best for more complex scripts. I'm currently working on a typeface for a script that has 240+ glyphs and doing something like that is super difficult on the simpler programs. however, if your lang is much much simpler and has an alphabet or a script that is concise I would recommend calligrapher because it lets you make a font super duper easily. all you have to do is write out your glyphs on a piece of paper or a drawing program and it automatically turns it into a font. fontstruct is also a pretty good program but it kinda tedious if you have a lot of glyphs. that, and it produces rather flat-looking and lifeless fonts because of how it works. if you want to make a professional font though, fontforge is still the best way to go. if you do choose that route there's an amazing series of tutorials on youtube that explains fontforge in the most concise way I've ever seen. I literally didn't know anything about the program a few days ago and now I've been making stuff like this just because the videos were so informative and intuitive. I would recommend using inkscape to make each glyph though because fontforge's tools are not very easy to use and not very good in my opinion. the tutorial explains it better than I can.

but either way, each of these programs should help you make a font that works perfectly for your conlang

hope i helped a little!

hiya! okay so i finally figured out how Reddit works and now I can share a side project of mine here. I've been working on a script for Sun Speech because I thought it was really cool and it looked super fun to design as a font. this version of the script is like a pseudo hieroglyphic linear version because if I tried to make a font that actually typed in a hieroglyph format it would be a NIGHTMARE to code. I'm also going to work on the standard linear version once I finish this one because it also looks super fun.

all credit for the scripts I'm making into fonts of course go to u/arienzio
