Recently i put these pictures up www.ismoyo.com too. There's a pic of their sides there too.
I requested my visitors what they think would be a good name for these items. I thought there must be some helpfull people on the Craftster forum too!

They are all my illustrations, but then embroidered on felt and with a white back, sewn neatly and stuffed with fiberfill. They all have a flat bottom so they can stand up by themselves. They are like approx 5" wide and high.

Ok, so if you can, help me out here. How to call these? They are embroideries on felt. Stuffed. Embroidery art? Plushies? Softies? i'm not sure, they are not real toy items, more for display, although you could cuddle them.
Please share your (witty) brainwaves! Thank you!

Soft sculptures is how I see them

Yes, that is what I thought as well when I saw them.  Especially after seeing side view of them on the blog.

"Embroidered Soft Sculptures"

That is descriptive, and makes it clear that they are not toys, but are still soft.

Lovely work!  Good luck with these!

Very happy to hear they are liked!
I get a lot of my inspiration from all things cute and vintage, so it makes sense that shows in my work.

I like the soft sculpture name to use to describe these.
Embroidered Soft Sculptures or Soft Sculptures - Embroidered designs.

Oh and the eyes in the first three designs are not glued or sewn on, they are brad like metal embellishments that you in a way push through the fabric.

I'm designing more! Working hard on setting up shop and hope to open soon with some Embroidered Soft Sculptures in stock too!
