Rorschach test... what can you see?

Rorschach test is a psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analysed. Some psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning. It has been employed to detect underlying thought disorder, especially in cases where patients are reluctant to describe their thinking processes openly.

In my crit it was suggested for me to look up the visuals used for this treatment, It was thought that i could some how integrate this idea into my illustrations to add an extra layer of meaning. This test is used in the testing o metal health so it would be relevant but it doesn't have an partiuclar place in the actual book. 

I have looked at some of the examples online and they do offer some interesting outcomes, I do like the thought of how different peoples interpretations of the same image. I wanted to experiment with making my own to see how they'd look. I want to keep to the same concept which is using the metaphor. So I plan to keep with the theme of rabbits and wolf, but i may still play with some other images that reference to the book. 

Below i have experimented with making my own inkblots, I used a glue bound sketch book which watercolours which worked well. These are the more successful outcomes and why:
