Rough Drafts Are IN!

Just saw a sneak peak of several the images from the Bryony cookbook. Awesome! I can’t wait to see more! The illustrator promised to send pencil sketches of them all before the week is out. That way, he can tweak them before he inks them.

Although Kathleen Rose Van Pelt, Bryony’s illustrator (www.ImaginaryLinesStudio.com) created the cover design for Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from “Bryony,” (and the cookbook cover is just as gorgeous as the novel’s cover), previous commitments prevented her from also drawing the interior art.

So unbeknownst to me, Sarah Stegall, Bryony’s web administrator, went searching for a second illustrator.

For awhile, Sarah was “hush-hush” about his identity until he submitted some sample Bryony pieces. She unveiled her surprise in the very wee hours of my birthday morning, certainly an excellent way to greet the day.

In other Bryony news: the cookbook editing is nearing completion, plans are underway for the launch event, new members have joined the Bryony team, and James Onohan is playing a second event later this month.

Details for all of the above will follow in upcoming posts.
