For the medallion:

R 2-2-2-2,clr, mock picot
SR 10/10, clr, rw
*Ch 2-2-2-2-2-2, + p of prev r, 2-2-2-2-2-2, + to base of same r, ch 3, + next p of center r, and repeat from * 3 times, joining last ch 3 to base of 1st ring.

At this point, you can cut and tie & hide ends OR I just made a few chain stitches and then tatted a SR

SR 2 + to next to last p of ch from prev round, 2-2-2/2 + next to last p of ch from prev round on corresponding side, 2-2-2, clr
Ch 5-5, rw
**R 2-2-2-2, + to tiny space or picot formed when ch was joined at top of r on prev round, 2-2-2-2, clr, rw
Ch 5-5-5-5, rw
R Same as last r and joining in same place as last r (2 rings joined in same space), clr, rw
Ch 5-5, rw
R 2-2-2 + to next to last p of ch on prev round, 2-2, + to next to last p on next ch, 2-2-2, clr, rw
Ch 5-5, rw
Repeat from ** around, joining last 5-5 to base of 1st SR, cut & tie & hide ends.
