challenge is coming along great, just wish I still had my big floor standing daylight lamp, as the black is difficult without it, but my mini light will have to do for now. Have a month to finish the page, I think it should be doable.

I've found a cheap headlight we got from Aldi is brilliant for stitching. As with all specials, Aldi don't do them after a while, and the current source for the same one is: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/3-led-head-torch-a11kk

Richard.

the black is always a struggle for me but love the way it makes the other colours pop.

Well I can't quite believe it but I've managed to finish my first page of an HAED!! Challenge No 2 finished too (I think), so happy with the way it's turning out.

thank you all for your comments

That really looks great.
Not sure that I like the idea of making things even more difficult by taking part in a challenge.

None the less it's superb.

I agree and I think you did an amazing job on the challenge. I picked a much easier design (a page with far fewer colors and no confetti) than you did and hope you are really proud of your accomplishment. Looking forward to more updates!
