LIONESS CHALLENGE: Dinosaur Valentine

[elisem]

There needs to be another good thing in the world today, and last time we did this was great fun, so here is another experiment in creativity, work, appreciation, and reward.

This is a LionessElise writing challenge based on the piece "Dinosaur Valentine", which is a pair of earrings in gold filled wire featuring dinosaur bone rondelles and pressed glass hearts. (NOTE: you might have to scroll down to view the earrings at that link, so scroll down past the "similar items" there.)


Here are the directions:

1. Go look at the piece as linked above.

2. Write something short (500 words or less) inspired by your viewing of the piece.

3. Send your submission to jenettsilver@gmail.com using the subject line "LIONESS CHALLENGE: Dinosaur Valentine" before or on May 8, 2019. Send it in the body of the email rather than as an attachment. Please pay attention to submission guidelines about limits on length. Submissions over 500 words will be discarded by Jenett before the proper length entries are anonymized and sent on to the judge/judges, who will include (but might not be limited to) me.



The winner will receive the earrings "Dinosaur Valentine" and bragging rights. The winner retains all copyright to their work(s). If the winner posts the winning piece somewhere linkable, I will be happy to link to it if the winner provides me with a link.

The Lioness reserves the right to award other prizes if it seems like a good idea at the time.

Thank you, and good luck.

I was all like, hmm, cool, too bad it doesn't really speak to me.

Then, a week later, I saw the post again and had a thought about how Valentines aren't always romantic love and OMG an idea exploded in my brain and it hurts my heart so I'll have to write it. :) I blame you, in the best way.
