Anyway, I finished Royal Holiday, so I was looking for something new to start....so I figured why not adapt south seas?
Anyway, what happened from there was this
 |
| The humble beginnings, as I sorted out what colours to use |
 |
| Colours more-or-less settled, starting to come to life |
 |
| All the stitching finished! Just beads left |
 |
| The finished product! |
Fair warning for this adaption - there was a LOT changed. As in pretty much everything but the skin and hair colours were changed (And one bead. I left one bead the same, LOL)
I also left out some beading, as a) I didn't think it needed any more (holy hell there were already a million beads on it, and the pattern called for YET MOREEEE) and b) I didn't have a bead in my stash that either fit the colours AND had the sheer quantity I would need. So that happened.
