Trying to combine the cut-out technique and combining it with sticking threads down I created this page. I tried to develop the cut-out apple page I had already created, although I though it hadn't worked well. I feel this page doesn't work either. The one thing i like is the way the apple lights up as you turn the page, as it is filled with tracing paper. I could maybe use this to create the cottage in the woods as in the story it is described as a special little cottage.
On the other side of the page I tried to develop the retro feel, but obviously using the cut out apple. This also works quite nicely as it is also simple but with a bit of a twist. I need to select which I feel will work best in my final book.
When reading the story again the emphasis of the whole apple theme is how one apple is so special and stands out amongst the rest. Instead of using the traditional 'red amongst the green' I decided to play on the use of the polkadot paper and combine this with the cut out apples. This is another image that I think has worked really well. As I have a few apple images I think will be really strong in my FMP i may start introduce several techniques into the story, even if this means adding a few extra lines of text into the book.
