This past weekend I thought it would be fun to make some geeky chemistry valentines. I did an internet search for chemistry love puns and quickly realized that there isn’t much out there. I grabbed an old chemistry book and started flipping through for inspiration. It didn’t take long to write a sizable list of puns. I chose four to make into valentines. Don’t worry, for those who don’t speak chemistry I have included a translation.
You are as sweet as a disaccharide of glucose and fructose.
{You are as sweet as sugar}
Download Valentine
Uranium + Iodine carved in a tree trunk.
{You and I}
Valentine, you shine like a carbon allotrope.
{You shine like a diamond}
The last one is an interactive valentine! The heart really phosphoresces because I painted it with glow-in-the-dark acrylic from Plaid. I have provided the anatomical heart drawing as a separate file so you can paint it without worrying about staying in the lines. Once the paint is dry, just cut it out and glue it onto the valentine. I used three coats of paint to get a bright glow.
Valentine, you make my heart phosphoresce.
{You make my heart glow}
