Ithaca’s Bloom presents LilySilly Puppets, recycled toys made on an off-grid homestead. Lily Gershon refashions found fabrics and objects into creations with a face and an attitude. Engage in a conversation with your own hand, play puppet therapist, or just gaze into the fuzzy eyes of a friend. Their heads may be stuffed with shoulder pads, but they have a lot to say.

Hey, check out the puppets – they’ve decided to get out of the house and make it on their own. Now at Ithaca’s Bloom, they will have a home among their sustainable peers.

May 4 5-9pm see some of LilySilliness live at the Arcades Project.

Recently, I’ve been attempting to make a fun mini J-in-the-box using old wine corks. Many failures but here’s one that came out alright!

And then the surprise!
