I saw pipe cleaners/chenille stems at the hobby store when i was looking at art supplies and i decided i wanted to mess around with them :>. They're fairly cheap too.

Little dog thing i guess. Holds poses marvelously. Details "painted" with a liner, beady eyes made with these... needle things. Basically, ordinary needles but with colorful beads at the end or whatever, otherwise made entirely with white pipe cleaners.
;> I can proudly say i didn't use any type of tutorial for this. I'm actually surprised it came out so good, i never even touched a pipe cleaner before.

It also didn't take me more than 30 mins - 1 hour.
