Tea, craft projects, and SFDs

I've pretty much stopped drinking coffee. I will occasionally have a cup if I'm someplace that I know has fabulous coffee, but for the most part, I have become one of those people that laments that the coffee never tastes as good as it smells. Which means my collection of extravagantly-flavored teas is growing, my current favorites being the Mighty Leaf Chocolate Truffle Teas (Clicky-link!) I realized this morning that I really want to mix up a chocolate rose black tea, which should be easy enough; I have chocolate truffle tea, I have rose tea. Mixing them together is not rocket science, but probably shouldn't be attempted before I have my first pot of tea of the day.

Speaking of teapots: I have a plain white teapot sitting on my bookshelf at work. I would like to take it home and paint a skull & crossbones in some sort of pretty scrollwork frame on it^*. Since this would be on the outside of the teapot, I don't have to worry about food-safe paints, just ones that would stay on. Anyone have any suggestions for what paints I should be looking at?

Shallow Fashion Details! ( Under the cut tag, of course )

^*Oh, okay, fine. I would sweet-talk stroppy_baggage into painting the skull & crossbones and scrollwork bits, because he's the one with art skills. I can, if I'm lucky and concentrate really hard, draw stick people. And one particular type of cute monster.
