NOTES:
More of the stretchy velvet I used for the Beast, this time with a tigerskin pattern... which saved me a whole lot of painting.

Finding orange hair to re-root is a pain; finally had to make do with a somewhat frizzy party wig. The texture isn't perfect, but it'll do for now. Her ear points, tiger-head clasp and finger&toe nails are all milliput...

... yes, toe-nails! And no, those aren't Aunt May's flat feet; Male Mego feet are the perfect size for the FC lasses... and the peg fits nice ans snuggly :-) Not sure whether it's made Tigra's legs too short or not now. I'll either display her standing on tippy-toes or, one day, extend her legs

Her tail is a couple of platted pipecleaners, covered with the velvet (good ol' double sided tape!) and superglued into a drilled hole on her, erm, posterior! The 'belt'... yet to find any teeny-tiny pointy teeth so I threaded up some little beads (one white, two black, one white etc.)
Opposite, the FC wave that never was; The Beast Wave!
