My Chimera in progress

I decided to use my pencil case, phone and mp3 player and form a fabric gadget cat. Firstly I tried to distort the objects in photoshop into a cat but it didn't really work. So I drew a cat outline in Illustrator to work around.

Then I brought the image into photoshop and used layer mask to form the cat from my objects.
