It is crochet, consisting primarily of single and double crochet stitches, increases and some picotsThere isn't a particular name for the technique unless you'd call it a type of free-form crochet because she's made creative shapesIt's artIf you look at the Mona Lisa as dirt (pigment), glue (binder/vehicle) and wooden boards, then it's worth a couple of bucksWhat makes it valuable is the artistic way these elements are put togetherSo when you purchase fiber art, you are purchasing not just the yarn it was made of, but the work that went into constructing it as well as what went into designing itShe wanted $45 for something she probably put a good 40 hours into developing with charting out a design, working it up, finding out what worked and didn't work, ripping, trying over, and eventually getting a finished product You can do the same thingMake a drawing of what you want to make and try to picture it as circles, rectangles and linesThen crochet those circles and rectangles, join them, and add in any necessary lines to complete the effectFiber artists don't tend to actually make any money for their artPeople just think it's expensive because they're used to mass produced, machine made, disposable garments and can't understand why unique hand crafted items can't be had just as cheaplyMost fiber artists are just trying to fund future yarn purchases so they can keep creatingIt's not the sort of thing that puts food on the table because you're doing good to make $1 an hour for labor alone.
