Olha and Hanna Dovhan (beforehand) are the artistic minds behind the lovely felt sculptures of Manooni. Whimsical and endlessly cheerful, the small household items, pairs of pears, and matched avocados are needle felted with wool and completed with tiny grins.
Primarily based in Ukraine, the Dovhans have spent nearly all of the struggle in Lviv, though their mom, who can be a part of the Manooni crew, stays with relations within the now Russia-occupied Zaporizhzhia area. The sisters introduced a few of their supplies with them to complete initiatives that had been already underway and have been elevating cash for Ukrainians in want by way of Patreon. “Sadly, the struggle is just not over, and we will’t go away behind people who find themselves affected by this horrible invasion,” Olha tells Colossal.
