Artist Richard Dunbrack makes masterful pieces of art furniture from recycled wood and metals. Each work is created from bits and pieces of found objects put together in new ways to created a new world of wonderfulness that has never come before. He has a great whimsical sense of fun, and his pieces have a rich unusual color pallette. Truly one of a kind.

We’ve mentioned before that the United States is upgrading stoplights to a more efficient technology using LEDs, leaving these old glass lenses obsolete. If the Traffic Light Pendant is not your style, grab some traffic light dishes. They are colorful and they’ve been around the block before. I need to learn some traffic light history a bit, since there seem to be no green, but yellow+blue??
