Valentine idea for arthurian legend nerds out there:

A love letter that opens up by removing a sword from a stone.

The idea: envelope is held shut by the “stone” (a drawn rock) and a tiny paper sword is attached to the envelope by a string, its sharp end stuck into the paper stone somehow holding the envelope shut.

The paper for the letter: parchment or some aged-looking paper with borders inked onto it. Shoot, I might have to learn calligraphy.

Maybe something like “You might not want to be King of England but you are worthy of my heart.” (because the whole thing with the sword in the stone is that the person who pulls it is worthy to be king of england right??)

This is gonna take a lot of engineering I don’t really know how to do. My partner is a fucking nerd on Arthurian legend and all I know about it is what they’ve told me in great detail. Unfortunately my brain is smooth, but I want this to be nice and detailed for them to geek out over.

Anyone have any ideas?
