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.

Re: The astronomer start 13.2.16 update 29.04.16
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.

thank you Richard, I do have a small light I bought off amazon which is great, just really miss my floor standing one, wish it hadn't been left behind in the move.richardandtracy wrote:I've found a cheap headlight we got from Aldi is brilliant for stitching.

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

Re: The astronomer start 13.2.16 update 29.04.16
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.

Re: The astronomer start 13.2.16 page1 done 21.5.16
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!Squirrel wrote: Well Done on getting the first page done and meeting the challenge.
