Sandra Boynton's line of plush animals for Recycled Paper Products was called
"Zoominaries" (luminaries), and their names were all puns on famous people.
On the subject of "wearable art", we have the "Fuzzyheads", a series of hats
made for children. At least, since they're all kind of small, I would assume
that to be the case. I know they don't quite fit MY head.

Albert (Einswein) 10" tall |

Claude (Debussycat) 10" tall |

Edgar (Allen HipPoe) 10" tall Tag reads: "I want to confess to you my most secret, fond, and wildly optimistic dream" and inside: "Perhaps someday you'll love me as much as chocolate." Edgar seems to have come in two different colors - light and dark. I have seen the hang tag on only the darker color, though. I also note that the darker one has softer stuffing than the lighter one. I think Recycled Paper Products continued to make and sell the Boynton designs after their contract with her expired - without her name on them. |

Edward (Hopper) 14" tall (including ears) |
|
Emily (Chickinson) 4" tall Emily Chickinson seems to have come in several different colors. She was also smaller than the others - she seems to have been a beanie size. I have four colors here, and there may have been more. |

Gustave (Flaubear) 10" tall Gustave seems to have come in two different colors - light and dark. I have seen the hang tag on only the lighter color, though.

Harry (Elephante) 12" tall Harry seems to have come in two different colors - light and dark. I have seen the hang tag on only the lighter color, though. I also note that the lighter one has softer stuffing than the darker one. I've also seen the darker one with and without the trunk stuffed. I think Recycled Paper Products continued to make and sell the Boynton designs after their contract with her expired - without her name on them. |

Ivan (Sergeyevich Turkeynyev) 10" tall, sitting I saw someone call this guy "Francis Scott TurKey". I liked that name almost as much as the original. :+) |
