Unpicking

Seeing Judy Martin's "unpicked stars" on her blog
brought to mind "Withdrawn", the work of Roanna Wells, unpicked embroidery from a wool skirt -
Not an erasure so much as a correction, or a change of mind, of intent - a re-purposing. Or left as a memory? The marks that remain suggest the line of stitching that was once so clear.
