That's stunning, and your stitching looks beautiful! (slightly creepy design though -- is pierrot a vampire
?)
By the way, BAP? (I thought that was a soft bread roll
)

Pierrot a vampire?? No.
He is a stock character of French pantomime whose origins are in the late 17th-century. His character in postmodern popular culture—in poetry, fiction, the visual arts, as well as works for the stage, screen, and concert hall—is that of the sad clown. Performing unmasked, with a whitened face, he wears a loose white blouse with large buttons and wide white pantaloons. Since his reincarnation under Jean-Gaspard Deburau, he wears a black skullcap. The defining characteristic of Pierrot is his naïveté: he is seen as a fool, always the butt of pranks, yet nonetheless trusting.
And BAP is a Big Ass Project

Thanks for the BAP explanation
As for the Pierrot/vampire thing, sorry to be so unclear, I didn't mean Pierrot in general, , just this one -- it looks like he's going for the neck with all the enthusiasm that a vampire might
