Thanks for your comments guys.
I've now picked this one up for a bit (as waiting for threads for my HAED) and am majorly addicted to it again.
The picture doesn't really do it justice as the skin tones are much more realistic than in the photo!
Hoping to do some more today, but my hand/wrist is killing after doing so much of that background yesterday. The background uses either 5 or 6 skeins and its quite an effort pulling the threads through the aida. Doubt a bit of pain will stop me doing some more though
Here is a pic....

This really is fabulous Nic. The skin tones look good to me and give a realistic look to her. I really do like this alot, but i'm curious about the gridded aida as well. Is it a washable one?
