I can see clearly now....

Or rather, my fairy can! I've completed one of her eyes, and she's looking much better now. It's crazy, just looking at her eye, there must be more than ten colours in that small section. I've taken a close-up of her eye, it's not that clear (darn you, macro shot!), but you'll get the general idea.



And here's the overview of the section I'm currently working on now.



Our updates are late this week, I suppose we were all busy with Christmas / New Year's celebrations. My excuse is that I'm intentionally late with my update. As I'm leaving for Egypt (in 6 hours!), I wanted to wait until the last minute to get as much done as possible. As for Eel, hmm, I don't know about her. I suppose she's being lazy! :)

There's going to be no news from me for awhile, I'll only be back in 2 1/2 weeks, and after that, it'll be awhile before my HAED looks any different from today!

Happy New Year to everyone who reads this blog, and to those of you that have left comments, thank you very much! It's tremendously encouraging to see that we do have some interested people out there who are following our competition.

See you at the end of the month!

Competition Rules

Competition Begins: 1st May 2008
Competition Ends: Chinese New Year 2013

Goal: Complete a HAED design by the time allotted.

Designs chosen are to be of approximately the same sizes. Contestants are free to change their design half way, however it must also be of the similar size to the original design chosen.

Each month, each contestant will deposit USD$20 into a separate bank account.

Every fortnight, each contestant has to update this blog with updated progress pictures.

Prize Money:

If only one contestant completes her design by the deadline, she gets the total amount of money saved by both contestants.

If neither designs are complete, the entire sum of money is to be donated to a charity that is agreed upon by both contestants.

If both complete it on time, the money is divided in the following manner:

60% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design first within the deadline.

40% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design last within the deadline.

* For EeL, completion means full completion. For Sae, completion for the 60% winner total is 210,400 stitches, with the remainder stitches to be completed by the deadline.
