Bullion knot is a wonderful stitch which improves the ugly flower from last week.
They are perfect for rose buds.

This week I have started embroidering new flowers. Bullions is a good start.
I love all kinds of knots. Here are some pictures from previos works. At first my handbag.

The blue oval bellow is filled with dense, rised Bullion knots, and to the right there are Bullion knots surrounding a single French knot.
The handbag embroidery is all in wool.
I also tried Bullion knots on denim swatches:
