<\/p>\nI was looking through some work in progress and thought this looked odd.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The last time I saw this piece the stitchwork background was completed. The plan was to add another layer of stitchwork with fiber and seeds with the code, A Fragment of Memory.<\/p>\n
When I opened the graph paper I found this\u2013
