Combining the 2 tests

After reviewing the two experiments I did, I thought about combining them. I put together the two experiments (word association poster and imagery association poster) to create a new one: using text to make imagery in response to the text. 

Participants are asked to use the letters from a piece of text to make imagery in response to it, then write a piece of text related to the image for the next person.

Here a dog is drawn using letters a, g, l, o from 'a little dog' and 'big white bone' is written for the next person. Then someone else created a bone image using letters o and i, then wrote 'skull', and so on... 

So, what ended up is a link of image and text / a link of people's interpretations / a link of responses.

However I'm not sure how the sentence should be made, i.e. according to what? simply something related to the image? that is not enough. it is too random somehow.

What is the starting text? anything? or something related to association?

The 'making imagery out of text' idea is inspired by Fontpark, a tool for people to make image out of Japanese characters, people can use whatever letters they like. I used it to demonstrate my idea, using the letters from the sentence 'a little doggy' to create a dog.
