Now that I’m back in procrastination mode, I thought I would spend some time listing things I bought while I was in New York.
1. Twenty-two different polka-dot fabrics at B&J Fabrics. Plus two batiks and a Japanese ikat.
2. Several art books:
- Christo and Jeanne-Claude by Jacob Baal-Teshuva
- Raw Vision: Outsider Art Sourcebook
- A book about Howard Finster 1916-2001
- Artists & Prints: Masterworks from the MOMA
- Ruth Duckworth: Modernist Sculptor
3. Technically I also bought these in NY, but I actually I looked at them at the museum and then went back to the hotel room and ordered them to be shipped to my house because I was tired of dragging books and fabric all over the place:
- Tim Hawkinson, catalog from the Whitney
- Red Grooms, The Graphic Work
4. Original art from the Art-O-Mat machine in the basement of the Whitney. It reads Contents: One original, all natural drawing by temperamental illustrator, Ashley Holt, shredded beyond recognition with a toy surprise.
5. A warm hat at the American Folk Art Museum. Necessary for walking around Central Park in freezing February.

Hi there,
I just found your blog here by looking for polka-dot patterns (you showed up on Google’s image search). Just wanted to say “Hi” and tell you that I love what I’ve read so far. It could just be the mutual polka-dot obsession though.
I’ll be back.
I’m looking for material to make mens polka dot scarves blue if poss. Also fringes. Can you help. G.M.Byrne
Could you reply on my email. write polka dot. Thanks. I’m trying to start up a little bizznezz
Hello! I´m from Brazil, I loved your blog, mainly the fabrics (polka dots). Where do you buy? Do you sell?
Thank you!
