From this article in the Saturday Guardian 13/06/15:“Ping pong and polka dots in Gorky Park: Moscow's Garage gallery opens. Dasha Zhukova’s transformation of a vast Soviet-era cafeteria into a gallery designed by Rem Koolhaas has turned grim Gorky Park into a hipster hangout.”

Sample designThis tree was very tempting, but embroidering all those spots didn’t bear thinking about! Or hand cutting spots to apply. Eventually I tried my Japanese screw punch and was delighted to find it happily punched tiny perfect holes from felt. So I decided on punched red felt with the white background showing through. The thickness of felt and tininess of holes means it doesn’t show very well though.
