Day 30 - Plush tiger cub

Today's entry for the [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo National Art Making Month challenge is number four in the plushie series: Shasika the white tiger cub. I bought her at the Zion Wildlife Gardens where I fed and played with tiger cubs not much bigger than her. [points at icon] :-)

[is cuddling]

She's so soft and flexible and pretty much the size of Tessa or Claudia. :-)

Poseable, too. I've managed to get her to sit up with her front paws between her rear ones.

That's so cute! I love the way you do eyes.

Thank you! She's much cuter in RL and very soft and cuddly too.

Oh it looks so plushy too :)

It is!

Fuzzy! I like the impression that she's wiggling her butt & preparing to pounce.

She's very soft and cuddly, and I put her like that on purpose. :-D She's sitting up now.

She looks very cute and adorable

(and apologies if this posts twice, sa IE is giving me a hard time about posting comments)

She's one of my favourite plushies because I can put her in different poses. The only other ones so adaptable are a grey and white cat who was so cheap I have two. :-P

No probs, I only got it once. :-)

Aww cute eyes beg for cuddles now please!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2007-08-30 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the pose! I've got her sitting up now and she's staring at me with a faintly surprised look. :-)

The only appropriate comment for this is through saying what Noki would: "KJURRRRRNNNJAU!"

And then she'd try to play with it like the cub in my post icon!

She looks so soft and cuddly, btw have i told you that the ladies of the family I cat sit for are green with envy over you. I've been down to visit since they came home and my Goddaughter showed me some pictures of tiger cubs she had taken. I told them about you and your visit to Zion when you played with the tiger cubs. They both now have the intense desire to come to NZ and go there to. The man of the house is resigned to working overtime for the next 10 years to get them there%D.

They'd have to plan ahead; they don't always have cubs. They should check in the UK first: one of the wildlife parks may offer cub encounters, though they'd be orange tigers. I know there are a few places here where you can cuddle lion cubs; they're a lot more common.
