Windsongs... and a Wordhoard to unlock...

 I took all my finished double page spreads, sketchbook of thumbnails and the finished dummy book itself over to my illustration tutor Jan Nesbitt today! I will wait for her professional critique before I go ahead and reproduce proofs of it all to put to editors...

(Sorry about the dingy photos!)

The next stage will be the most daunting, making sure I get my approaches to editors dead right and then just hoping its all up to standard enough to try and make a good impression! 
Meanwhile I'm starting to try and capture in words the bee-humming, fire-dancing song that's been whispering an elusive trail through the story-threaded part of my mind... I just need to wait quietly for a time and listen...

    1. Oh, thankyou June! Of course you would know Jan from SWILL I'm guessing? I first discovered her work at a SWILL exhibition at Bath library a few years ago, and only afterwards discovered that she was the tutor on the course I'd just signed up for! Couldn't have worked out better!

  3. If it's a bee-humming song, there'll be "M" words. . . Thinking positive thoughts and keeping fingers crossed!
