The Legislative Branch Of Congress

As we see our country slipping away from us a little more every day, Kitty and I felt it only fitting to debut this properly named, one of a kind subtle and stylish, decorative light box.

Another recycle, repurpose, reuse wonder, the real wood frame comes from an old, old headboard that was cast away to melt into the earth. Being from an earlier time and no longer in style, nobody seemed to take an interest in it so we took it home! Why waste good wood only to cut down more trees for more wood.

Leftover Plexiglas from an older project covers this unique and very distinct recycled print.

Featuring a Congress of Monkeys sitting on a branch, grooming and picking parasites from each other,this old print was taken from a thrown out 1950's Chinese calendar we happened upon. The print is authentic, printed on rice paper as our friends across the Pacific use so much and even print their money on.

Get used to it, the way our country is being sold out from under us, we will soon be using that very same currency which we know nothing of.

In case you didn't know, a group of monkeys is called a Congress, very similar to our Congress being called a Group of Monkeys. Unfortunately, the similarity is no longer a joke as we watch a broken government do more and more of nothing every day. Notice the lights in the background. There are two positions for this battery powered string of LED's that was also cast off from someone else. When on solid, they are very dim and hide in the background. Flip the switch, and watch them blink out of sequence, much like the lobbyists we occasionally see, flitting around from congressman to congressman, only being highlighted for short periods of time, when someone needs to be blamed for another screw up or policy designed to harm the people of our country.

Very cool to view, much like going to Capitol Hill, there is very deep symbolism behind this simple box. Yes, monkeys picking at each other on their favorite branch are fun to watch, eerily similar to sitting in the gallery and watching our Representatives and Senators pick at each other day after day sitting in their favorite easy chairs, getting absolutely nothing done other than selling our country away to the highest bidder. That bidder happens to use rice paper.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...it is with great pleasure that
