book brainstorm

Ok, pretty confident that I am going to use making stove top popcorn as my experience.  I have been making a wordlist and browsing some pictures and book ideas.  Some ideas that I am flirting with are: pop ups, twist on the accordion book, use of kernels or possibly stringed popcorn? I figure the main components of making stove top popcorn are the kernels, olive oil, the physical popping, salt, pepper, oven, and the pot.  Here are some images that will hopefully steer me in some particular direction.

poster inspirations

eric carle illustration
rudi de wet studio work
and some tad carpenter work




basically I want the poster to have a collage feel to it that mirrors the collage model of my treehouse.  It is about color and materials. i have decided to use handwritten text instead of a computer font, and eliminate any boxes around pictures. sketches
