The smudge tool is usually good for blending, but choosing the right brush and adjusted to a proper setting, it could be used in an extremely FUN way to style and shape all things fuzzy and hairy. Also check out how the blurr tool could give you selective blurring of a portion of an image to create that depth of field.
Please send me a message here on Facebook if you would like the Photoshop files to do this project.
