  Media Smaller than Container?

I'm fairly new to media, but the recent post "The Mummy...." has got me
thinking and interested in particle type effects. If I make sphere, I
can make the sphere hazy, the *whole* sphere hazy. That's not what I
want to do though, I don't want the media to be fully visible throughout
the entire object. I don't want the media to fill the entire container,
all the way to the edges. I would like it to be blobby....ya know? 
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do.

Is this even remotely possible to achieve in PovRay? Can this be done
with 1 object and 1 media? Any advice,
code, or ridicule is welcome.
