We’ve heard of eyeball lights before, those swiveling recessed lights that shine onto fireplaces all over suburban America, but now the term “eyeball lighting” is taken a whole lot more literally. Give glassblower Livio Serena from 5.5 Designers a picture of your eyes and select their exact color on a special chart, and he’ll make a couple of creepy-looking Cloned Eyeball Lamps for you.
Might make a hilarious gift, and you could deliver it along with a special song, such as “I Only Have Eyes for You,” or maybe that tired old standby, “Brown-Eyed Girl.” No word on pricing, or whether the glassblower can turn other, more interesting body parts into lamps. Strangely enough, the company is getting pretty good at artistically cloning body parts, but it’s not yet clear why.

That's not creepy! There should be bloody chunks of dead flesh dangling off the eyeballs. THAT would be creepy!

I can imagine crazy ex-girlfriends/boyfriends who can't let go of a relationship making lamps that look like the ex's... *That* would be disturbing. And much more original than obsessing over their pictures.
