For this project, I took my band name (Map of Omelettes) and took it as literally as possible. I decided to research different omelette varieties to use to build my world (as in literally take the omelette varieties and textures and use them for the geography, such as using spanish omelettes as cliff faces and omurice as volcanoes). I have explained the main ones I researched below.
CrespéouCrespéou is a French dish made from layers of omelettes that can be eaten cold. The omelette layers have different vegetables and herbs mixed in to create a variety of colours, and the omelettes are stacked so the colours alternate.

Band Research
I also researched folk bands, with a focus of my research being The Crane Wives.
The Crane Wives is a folk band that became popular during the 2010's and is well known for their songs Curses, Tongues and Teeth and Never Love an Anchor along with others. I personally enjoy the song's vocals and beat, as it appeals to me. The artwork of the albums is also really appealing to me, and a big draw to the albums due to how handrawn and textured the artwork is, instead of it going in a more graphic style.
