  Spherical object -> image map

I have created a fairly complex object which is essentially a sphere 
with a bunch of stuff in it.  I've been working on animating the object, 
and have achieved the effect which I want (distortions using the "blob" 
command).  The only problem is I can only blob a sphere, rather then the 
object itself.  I think that I may get the scene I desire by making an 
image_map of the object, and mapping that onto the blob.  I tried this 
using a map of the earth, and got essentially what I wanted.

Problem is, I don't know how to convert the object into an image_map. 
Any ideas?

Thanx

Bryan

PS: In the animation the object moves through a small hole in a barrier, 
  with a "dumbbell" shaped blob as the intermediary step.  You 
essentially go sphere -> dumbbell -> sphere (on other side of wall).
