Recycling Book Scene 7

Initial idea

Looks chaotic, but I love this page as it shows the creative process – how to go from ideas and turn them into something that fits. So this page shows Elijah and Crumpet imagining what they could do if they collected loads of recycling.

First illustration

Fatima my illustrator decided to use industrial size wheelie bins, which I liked as it shows scale! Then she nailed the right side with Crumpet and had Sapphire the cat sitting on a pile of books. My only thought was whether or not to use our 3 titles, but our books are thinner and so I was happy to stick with the effect. The only thing I did change was adding another 2 orange bags to fill out the page either side of Elijah.
