People’s Choice Emiko Yamaoka IILG

BEST of OPEN DIVISION Emiko Yamaoka IILG

BEST of SHOW Emiko Yamaoka IILG

This was her entry inthe Open Division It was extremely carefully detailed. One of those, you think you've seen it all, then something stops you in your tracks. For me anyway. I guess everybody else too, because she earned the Peoples' Choice Award.

Emiko is on the right. To the left is Michiko Matsuda, as equally talented.

Mr & Mrs Theobald

Keith and Tina, (yes, her shirt really does say "Bite Me".)

Gerald "Woody" Woody holding up an ornament his wife Geraldine "Jerry" Woody made. Ga leathercrafters rock!

Marcelo Dario, Lone Star, attended the ceremony and got a lot of attention from Roz. I did take his picture, but I'm not going to post it or you ladies will weep. He's a handsome man from Brazil, extremely talented, very taken.

Congratulations to all our members who won ribbons- I recognize almost all of you on the above list. Randahl, you need to get moved up, you're competing in too low a class. Oh well, Edd Lucas will get you sooner or later.

If anyone want more detailed info, let me know.

Johanna

[howardb]

I thought Randall DID move up. There were about 4 or 5 that moved up a class. Wasn't he one of 'em? I may be memberin' wrong...

Brent

[David]

Ok for the ladies, here is Marcelo Dario and his beautiful and very expectant wife.

Ok for the ladies, here is Marcelo Dario and his beautiful and very expectant wife.

Dave Theobald

I was in Jeff Mosby's class with both of them. Didn't know their names. A very talented and sweet couple!

Crystal

[tashabear]

How can someone get second place (or third?) when there is no first place?

[Admin]

If the judges feel no pieces deserve a ribbon, the ribbons are not awarded. This keeps it "real"...if you won an IFoLG ribbon, you earned it, it wasn't given to you by default.

FYI, I belong to IILG not Buckeye butt that's okayRandy Cornelius

I thought Randall DID move up. There were about 4 or 5 that moved up a class. Wasn't he one of 'em? I may be memberin' wrong...Brent

Yes, he did. I did also. Randy

[Bree]

The minute I saw Emiko's dolls I knew that they would win Best of Show. The detail was simply extraordinary. I can't forget the little cameo and the cat... the hair... the shoelaces... the chair... the floor... all made of leather. The shawl made of leather... all of it just blew me away. Even the wedding gown couldn't shake me loose of those dolls.

I was one of the people who voted for Emiko. Great job. Incredible work deserving of the highest praise.
