For the treasuring time assignment i have made a device which treasures and records times in a ritualistic manner. each week a seven pointed wax star is created, each point representing a day. You rate each day by adjusting how much wax will fill that area:
i.e.
On a bad day you would slide the stop all the way in, whereas on a good day you leave it further out. i have always been fadcinated with fire and candles, to me there is something mesmerising and tranquil about them. to you my treasuring time device the person would:
1. come home at the ed of the day
2. rate their day ( by sliding the stops in or out)
3. turn the candle tip so it points into the right well/casting
4. light the candle, filling the well/casting with wax
They would repeat this through the week, then at the end of the week they would tip the casting upside down revealing the 7 pointed wax star.
They could then stack these stars on the stand i have provided (shown above) they would be able to look back through time at their growing sculpture and decipher how they rated previous days.

personaly, i really like your idea ,its innovative and unique.and i like the way of recording every day by forming a wax star,and the canddle light gives people a feeling of warmness,which make people enjoy to celebrate the time.and the wax star is a good way to help people to remember the time.i think it would be better if you can form the star by using different color in every point,it may indicate different mood in everyday.
I think this is a great idea, showing the emotion of each day as it gose past. It would be interesting if you could combine the holder for the already made wax stars, with the candle and wax molder.
I love the uniqueness of how time is 'tresured' with the user measuring how good their day was and marking it in wax. very nice. Not sure how long you have be waiting for enough wax to melt to fill in one of your trays let alond the whole thing, but its a great thing to put on display and begs others to ask questions. The process of doing it is a very reflective thing, way it towers is very time like, just as the layers of rock in mountains. Its great! enjoy your holidays!
