Bouquet pod-mamillt-hornet honey-LOL encyclopedia

 Continuing pages for the Life of Lewa encyclopedia. The following pages show more objects mentioned in Life of Lewa chapter 10 "Lewa's First Date". 

The bouquet flower pod and mamillt were mentioned in the episode; hornet honey on the other hand is an extra faux product which hasn't yet been mentioned in any episode, but I hope to include its name at some point.

I do enjoy inventing objects which don't exist, it gives me a sense of enchantment to be able to bring out imagery and description onto a page displaying objects of fantasy and faux reality.
It's like I'm walking through the world in my head and recording the little things that have been observed. That's essentially why my MOC is Pearllight, because that's what she does; explores, observes, catalogs.

The bouquet sketch itself is based off the prop bouquet miniature used in the picture "Lewa's First Date"

 Bouquet Pod

 From Life of Lewa chapter 10 “Lewa’s First Date”. The bouquet which Lewa purchased
 had an odd water pod over the cut flower ends of the bouquet.

This pod held water to keep the flowers alive. It’s bottom is firm and tear drop shaped,
able to hold large amounts of water and sustain itself during travel.
             
These flower pods are commonly bread for two uses, one for slipping on bouquet ends,
the other for using as small water bottles or drink holders of medicine and fruit juice. 

The pods grow on a certain plant, their sole purpose for holding water which the plant uses
 during times of drought. These water holding pods have been found helpful for the uses
 listed above, and locals of Aquabosphera started using them for practical purposes.

Each pod is like a flower, a very firm, smooth flower with a hard base and rippled top that
opens and closes to capture rain. The soft rippled top is strong, but flexible, and when used
as a water bottle or bouquet pod, as it's commonly called, it's simply shut with a piece of
thread or ribbon.


Mamillt 


Mamillt is a type of Glatorian grain made into a hot cereal.

It has the texture of oatmeal and grits, and can be cooked in either hot water, or for richer flavor, hot milk.



The mamillt grain grows in large fields like any long grain such as wheat. It's then processed and the grain is bagged and used for hot cereals, muffins, and breads.



Some like mamillt savory, usually mixed with sausage and fried egg. Most prefer mamillt as a sweet hot cereal, mixed with choices of jelly, syrups, or hornet honey.



Mamillt is normally stored in a twine shut paper bag with a label that has the grain image on it, name, and listings of grit grade. The grit grade determines whether it's good for making bread, or better for cooking as hot cereal. The finer grain is the one used for cereal, and is occasionally mixed with larger grain grit for a combination texture. 


Hornet Honey
 
Hornet honey is obtained from a special honey hornet that hive on the edges of jungles or forests. As their name implies, these hornets are special because they make more honey than they need, and their honey has a certain tang to it which is well liked over bee honey.



A special armor with a metal under mesh must be worn while collecting the honey from these hornets. They have farms in jungle regions where they raise these hornets for their honey, and surrounding these farms are warning signs so people don't disturb the hives and pay the price.

The special armor is found to be the only safe way to collect the honey seeing like any hornet, they have no limitation in stinging, and they also have pinching mouth parts.



Once the honey has been collected, it's put into glass jars with a simple label on the front, capped with a leather lid and secured with waxed twine.
