Scientist Magnet

What started out as request for one scientist turned into a magnet set once my imagination started working.  It all started with this Einstein magnets I made a few weeks ago.  After that post, that magnet set was sold and went to a new home.  Another request came in for the Einstein magnets along with one of Nikola Tesla and his coil.  My challenge was to figure out how to make the coil, well, look like a coil.  While brainstorming, I knew I had to add Sheldon Cooper.  Can't have great scientists in a set without including Sheldon Cooper :)

Albert Einstein Magnets!

I had the idea to make this Einstein magnet set when I was working on these breakfast magnets.  Not sure how breakfast and science are related but I must have been thinking about apples and such which lead to Newton's Laws of Motion.  No, not really but it sounded good to type it out. Teehee.

For this set, I used a jumbo cap from a peanut butter jar to make Einstein and just a normal bottle cap from a Gatorade jar.  Einstein is approximately 3 inches in diameter and is 3.5 inches in height with hair.  The relativity theory speech bubble is about 2.5 inches wide and 1.85 inches in diameter.
