July 2010. India Kaleidoscope has finally arrived on my desk! It’s great to see the finished product at last after working so hard on it for so long. I’m excited about having used a lino print for the cover, the first time I’ve used a print in a book. Some sample pages can be previewed on the publisher’s website, www.curriculumpress.edu.au. You can also see the cover image on my blogsite sallyheinrich.wordpress.com. You can also see some images there from another book I recently illustrated, All That I Am, by Myra Lim-Hurt published by Orange Press. Some of these images and others are currently being exhibited in the SALA show at Cibo at Henley Square, and I am also showing work in another SALA exhibition, ‘Storyline 2’, opening at Gallery M on August 6. All the illustrations from ‘All That I Am’, ‘The Most Beautiful Lantern’ and others are available as greeting cards as well as limited edition prints. If you are interested in purchasing books, artwork or prints, or if you’d just like to say hello, email me via the contact page on this site. I always love to get any feedback on my work. 2010 has been a great year so far. After spending most of February at Varuna, the writers’ house in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, in May I headed off to Singapore to attend and speak at the Asian Festival of Children’s content, where I met some great people from all over the region and took in some very interesting talks. I took the opportunity to visit Cambodia for a couple of weeks, followed by a quick trip to Sydney and have just returned from a trip to Melbourne and the snow. As a complete contrast to that, in the last week of July I’ll be in Arnhem Land, working with local people along with writer Leonie Norrington and illustrator Beth Norling. I’ve got so many ideas for new stories and artwork it will be good just to be in one place for a while after that and get some of them started! MORE INFO HERE >
