Pocket lint, dryer lint, hairballs all wonderful for making art wouldn't you say? It's cost effective, environmentally friendly and can look very beautiful if it's constructed nicely. Take for instance my cat's hairballs. All the work and effort he puts into those things? He's a true master at his art. I bet a few more years and he'll be making things like these and I can finally cash in on him.

It's obvious that this crafter's cat crafter has put a lot of time and energy into this. It's unfortunate that without the description I had absolutely no idea that this was a doll.

She is made from a unique machine embroidered fabric consisting of yellow cotton covered with yellow, purple and pink twinkle organza. This was melted back using a soldering iron and embellished with hand stitching. Her 'face' is made from pressed paper clay .

Better luck next time! { source }

   I’ve looked in the mirror, I’ve seen a face … that ain’t a face! Save the organza, ditch the rest.

   I’m afraid to leave a comment for this one. That looks too much like a voodoo doll.
