Because homemade gifts are the best.

A friend of mine recently ran into some money trouble, and was left unable to do any Christmas shopping. So she decided to make everybody their gift instead. I was hanging out with her, and she was asked me what I wanted her to make me. I had no clue, so she offered the suggestion of a character we both liked from a video game I lent her (I never really played it myself). I agreed, and so she started.
She worked on this in front of me for six hours (she's awesome like that). It's made entirely of old discarded clothes. Not even any stuffing. All the thickness is just from rolled up clothes she cut up and sewed together. It turned out so well, I had to show it off.
Her posing with the doll:
Close up of the doll:
Because I took the pictures on a camera phone, the colours are kind of messed up. For instance, the hat is actually a dark brown.
Too bad I have to wait till Christmas to receive this fucking awesome gift. My only other problem is trying to find her an immensely insightful and thoughtful gift in return.
By the way, ten cool points if you can identify the specific mage.
