Sampler - Bullion Knot

Fantasy Bullion Knot flower

I am trying out a fantasy Bullion Knot flower.  This is actually based upon something I saw on a CQ square (do you see it towards the bottom?) I saw on pinterest.

Each Bullion Knot has about 20-25 wraps on a milliner needle using 1 strand DMC floss.  The beginning and end of the Bullion Knot is very close together on the fabric, so when the thread is pulled through, this results in an arched effect.  The pearl like thread is a sparkly floss from DMC called Pearlescent Effects (E966) and I used 1 strand for the French Knot.  I still need to finish the French Knots.
