"HOT cross buns"
a dozen of them
freshly baked
"HOT off the press"
all a bit wonky
the way i like it
randomly cut sort-of rectangles
sliced in half
add a strip
press towards the strip so it sits higher
slice it again at right angles
add another strip
& there you have a "HOT cross bun"
usually baked at Easter
but you know ....
tweaking it to work with the whole
HOTTIE idea
in no time at all
your dozen will be done
note the use of a very funky newspaper print below
hence the "HOT off the press" .... love dualities
& a little extra b&w
yeah ... there is always an excpetion to the rule
my own rule about colour plus white ...
(still waiting for that blog post aren't you?)
piece them together
love the serendipity of fabric choices
& colour placement
yes they are all wonky & wrong
wasn't too happy with myself at one point ....

to my eye if i had ...
what on earth is all this for you ask?
which is a fabulous fundraising exhibition
of HOT water bottle covers
some are actually useable too ..... mine isn't
but it has great aesthetic value!!
raising funds for the
has organised a whole heap of entries
i joined in ..... love a community arty crafty project
that brings people of all sorts & skills together
so the HOTTIE Challenge exhibition
1158 Toorak Road, Camberwell
right near the Summerhill Road T intersection
from the 5th - 28th July
"HOT off the press
HOT cross buns
HOT under the collar"
HOT HOT HOT
its ... a little bit cheeky
i like it that way
when you read these 'personals' up-close
you'll see why some of them are
a little "HOT under the collar" ...
... back to the penny bit
it is a fundraiser after all
you can visit & vote
with your pennies .... i think that's how it works?
