I have been working on my first Golden Kite - Pierrot's Embrace....550 x 735 stitches, will be 3 feet by 4 feet when finished. Definitely the biggest BAP I've ever done. This is the finished picture



And here is my WIP, after about 660 hours of stitching

Wow that is going to be awesome!!!!

Blimey!! Its going to be incredible.

I can see why you call it boobie-grabbin!!!

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

wow, amazing work!

My word, you don't do things by halves do you This is an awesome project and you are making fantaastic progress

WOW!!!!! That is soooooooo good!!!

Yes he is! That, and the fact that he's grabbin her boobie (and the obvious enjoyment on her face) is why I HAD to stitch this! LOLOLOL
