	[[Image:RUNDE.jpg\|left\|thumb\|250px\|A creation of the artist. Photo in 2011.]]Runde, Thomas. (Dubuque, IA, Apr. 26, 1943-- ) Runde is considered one of the first "environmental artists" in the Midwest. Boasting that everything he ~~builds~~ was made from something headed for the landfill, he ~~has~~ crafted clocks, furniture and picture frames. Among his prized creations was a 250-pound chandelier six feet in diameter made of smoothed floorboards and a giant wagon wheel, glass from an old jail's window, mirrors and scrap carpeting to match the carpet in the home of the people for whom it had been purchased. In his store, Heritage Old Wood Arts, in Galena, Runde displayed a 1,000 pound grandfather clock with a wagon wheel face and hands made from old fruit boxes. Moldings came from local taverns and houses in Dubuque and Platteville, Wisconsin. The clock was displayed at the Chicago Merchandise Mart.
