"Olivia & Oliver - Luv Bug Romance" has just received a Golden Teddy Award nomination in the Needle Felted category! This is my first GTA nomination. I am so excited!
These two Luv Bugs, Olivia and Oliver, are truly enjoying a wonderful romance. Olivia is seated on her favorite flower, giggling with flirtatious shyness, as Oliver lovingly caresses one of her sweet little feet. He is kneeling before the love of his little bug life, whispering sweet romantic comments to let her know how much he adores her. Olivia and Oliver are two very happy “Luv Bugs”.
Olivia and Oliver are very solidly needle felted with a Cherry Cordial color blend of pink and burgundy Corriedale wool. All twelve of their legs and feet are needle felted over wire to allow different posing possibilities. Their heads are string jointed to allow movement. Olivia and Oliver are 3.5 inches from the top of their heads to their little bug butts. The flower is six inches across. The entire piece with the Luv Bugs on their flower is 5.5” high.
Olivia and Oliver were created for the Luv Bug Challenge, presented by the Thread Artist Guild®. They were voted the membership favorite in a Guild poll that was offered at the end of the challenge.

Congratulations! You must still be several feet off the floor. This is such a charming little set and the story just adds even more sweetness. Are you planning to include the story of their romance when they're adopted?
Your work is very deserving of the nomination. It's fabulous. Great job!
