Metaphors that Work

Talking with others, a metaphor about keeping the light bulb filament and combining it with the concept of time became the challenge. The points of focus are light and time - light reflected by the filament left behind as the sand descends inside the bulb and time reflected by the fact the whole project is an hourglass. A. Lynner, another blogger working on a magnetic car project, suggested When the time is right, the idea is bright. Love it!  Variations could be....

As time passes, the light is revealed.

With time, the light becomes apparent.

With time, all is revealed.

Over time, the light shines through.

Now, back to Dollar Tree for more light bulbs and into the gourd shed for some scraps!
