She began working in polymer and other materials, and has recently found that dryer lint can make a very interesting medium as well! Her work has won her awards, and the dolls have been featured in Contemporary Doll Crafter magazine and elsewhere.

Crazy craft - Newspaper furniture.
I'm not kidding.
This is only the beginning because as I peruse the web, I plan on really going to town on this lens. Yes this is for real furniture made out of newspapers. I'm so pleased I could find this on-line because I saw it years ago and actually downloaded some .pdf files to start this craft, but how silly is that since -I'M ALLERGIC TO NEWSPAPER INK
So , if you try it let me know how it goes, in the meantime I'll occasionally read the paper and wash my hands quickly before I break out in large bumps that itch, blister and scab. I just hate this allergy, it really limits my creativity - NOT!
HERE'S THE LINK TO YASMIN SETHI - NEWSPAPER FURNITURE
Crazy craft - folding dollar bills.
Folded Bucks.
I received this as a gift several years ago and then found a book in Washington D.C. at the Bureau of Engraving gift shop. The book has several ways to fold dollar bills into recognizable shapes. Crazy Crafts Online and on Squidoo
At least unique, and often wonderful.
Unique Crafting Idea Books
Try a new craft this year.
No Kindergartners were harmed robbing these color pencils from their stash.
My Sister did something similar to this:
Neck Tie School Bag
My sister's husband died. After his death and all the details that must be handled, there came the time to go through his clothing. My other sister is so creative. She snagged all of the ties in his closet. She took them home, cut and patched them together into pillows to regift to family members. Here's a sample of a good use for old ties. 
These arm warmers are made from pieces of several sweaters.
I'm creative too - Arm Warmers from old wool sweaters
A Handbag out of Newspapers???
Furoshiki
That's what I said!!
It is a great way to make a purse for a quick unique fashion statement.
Or a unique and colorful way to wrap a gift for that special occasion.
You know you love crazy crafts ...
