Ideas are 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration

I've adapted a sentiment that Thomas Edison repeated several times: "None of my inventions came by accident. I see a worthwhile need to be met and I make trial after trial until it comes. What it boils down to is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration."

I've done the first line in colourful, "inspiring" map pins and the second part in black, "boring drudgery' map pins. Partly because my local store didn't have enough of either colour. Haha, and partly because it fits with the concept. This is a work in progress, because yet again, I've run out of pins.
