Yaklady on the cover of the LCSJ

[ClayB]

Randy mentioned an article by his son Riley in the latest issue of the LCSJ. I just wanted to mention that the cover of this issue is carved by Kathy Flanagan (did pronounce that right Kathy?) aka Yaklady. Congrats on your first cover Kathy. There is also a nice article in the magazine that tells how she carved the cover. It's really fun to see articles like these written by your friends. Keep 'em coming Riley and Kathy!

Congrates Kathy !!

Don't forget there's an interview with Yaklady / Kathy right here on LeatherWorker.net also.

Kathy, congratulations, you are getting to be so famous. I wonder....was it because you were the first guest on the freal show? Makes ya kinda want to get in line to be a guest. Just like back in the days of Johnny Carson...LOL

Hurrah for the YakLady! Congratulations; could someone please scan the cover so those of use who do not have the magazine could see it too? Please just ignore the suggestion if it's not a good idea for some reason.

Here's a picture for you, Braider. Sorry, but I don't have one with all the writing and stuff on it!

I think it was the freak show that brought me to the surface. No one else could possibly present me to the public like freak can. The Dave Reis just couldn't resist such amuzment. With all this attention, maybe I should go get a face lift or something. Or at least a new hat like Clay's. Should I bring a yak to Sheridan to have photo sessions with? Maybe then I could make it onto National Geographic.

Clay, I think you pronounced my name right this time. Now if I can get yours right . . .

Thank you all, you wonderful people!

Kathy

Kathy - GORGEOUS! Thanks so much - what a treat to see this, and NO WONDER you got chosen to be the cover!

Now - did you get 50 copies or so for all your friends and family? You'll need at least that many...

Very nice job, it is really beautiful.

[Doug Mclean]

That is very nice work. I like the way you blend the back ground. Is that a matt tool or a backgrounder. Is the yak deal a joke or do you actually raise them??

That's one heck of carving what is it for.
